Jamie Sussel Turner's Less Stress Life buoyantly reminds us we are not powerless in the face of life's most crushing pressures and distractions. Exploding all the myths on stoic multi-tasking, on the one hand, and sheer avoidance, on the other, Jamie invites readers to spot their stressors and chart a new course toward personal effectiveness. Her roadmap is the truest navigation, forged in the crucible of a dire cancer diagnosis and a journey toward healing and self discovery. This book is informed by a survivor's wisdom, with loads of practical suggestions and a joyful embrace of life's great promise for the focused mind and the open heart. Kevin Ryan, Author of Almost Home: Helping Kids Move from Homelessness to Hope At a time when self-help books are abundant and social media memes tell us to breathe, be grateful, and stress less, the idea of better managing stress feels terribly stressful. But that's not true for Less Stress Life, which provides tangible, intentional, and doable strategies for decreasing stress along with stories that help readers gain new perspectives. It provokes the right questions for us to acknowledge, evaluate, and respond to stress. The practice of SURFing serves both as a mantra and a tool, which has helped me pause, assess, press play, and ride the stress wave while being in control of my responses. Less Stress Life is a powerful resource in a world that can easily feel like it is spiraling or at times against us. Joe Primo, M.Div., CEO of Good Grief Jamie has put together a thoughtful and real-world collection of practices that are genuine stress-busters. Drawn from her experience as a mom, cancer survivor, educator, and coach, she has skillfully created a highly readable and accessible book on managing stress. I wish I had this book years ago--but I am glad to have it as a resource now. A modern gem! Dan Tomasulo, Ph.D., Core Faculty, Spirituality Mind Body Institute, Teachers College, Columbia University Jamie Sussel Turner is spot on! Less Stress Life provides practical and useful tools to decompress from daily life. Her poignant examples enable readers to apply her wisdom to their own life situations. She is witty, thoughtful, and above all insightful! This book will be a valued part of every reader's library! Anna Pavlick, DO, MBA; Oncologist, Professor, Cancer Researcher This is not like any stress book you've read before! Jamie Sussel Turner seamlessly weaves narratives of stressful situations and uncovers how to shift your perspective to find calm. It is a quick and entertaining read and you will relate deeply to the stories. Less Stress Life is a must-read for anyone with stress wanting to reclaim their health! Sarah Oulahen Turner, Naturopathic Doctor
