Editorial Reviews

03/01/2018
For Hanley (Stress Less), being a better person means having more sympathy, more courage, and the willingness to do the right thing. Simple suggestions in seven categories (e.g., "See the Positive," "Be Healthy," "Show Love," and "Give Back"), including dropping skepticism and writing more letters, are each followed by a brief paragraph that states how these behaviors create a positive impact as well instructions for implementing them. Reading and applying Hanley's tips are delightful ways to begin turning intentions into actions. VERDICT Recommended for anyone who wants to make a positive difference in the world.
