must have bought countless books on relaxation and meditation in order to relieve
stress. For the most part I found non-objective, very subjective eastern treatises
pushing a philosophy or dogma. These books were not very well structured in
explaining how to use the techniques. This book, approaches relaxation methods in
a scientific manner. Each chapter is about one method, telling what type of attitude
works best in its use, the variations of the method (based on effect) and the time
that is necessary to see the effects. The methods are explained in a "cookbook"
manner. The steps of the methods are clear and explained well. These methods are
treated as templates for anybody to use, without implying inferences as to what
philosophy of life is correct. I don't think I have ever recommended a book before
(heuristic: 90% of all books say the same thing), but since this one follows such a
well defined format.
