It is for that same reason that Gustavo gives a word of caution to the readers if they choose to use the practical guides given.

The author gives practical guidance. However, balance and self-awareness are required to put the guidelines into action.

I believe it totally is practical! However, I do have the help of a therapist. But, exploring methods may not work until you have the right one. This book mentions millions of different methods. I'm sure at least one might do a little something to help ease anxiety.

Sometimes people can not afford to repeatedly visit a physician, even if their professional help is needed. Getting wisdom from these two qualified authors is worth a shot. It may help eliminate or cut down on the number of in person trips that are needed. From this standpoint, I feel this book is very practical.

This Book is Beyond Practical.

In most cases, authors who write about mental related disorders refer to the DSM IV and DSM V. Well, this book is a stand alone. I love the fact that authors took time to elaborate symptoms and how you can manage them without evolving medications.

For example, the lemeds described to subside a Panic attack is a good plot to confirm the practicalness of this novel. The technique is widely practiced including on the screens of Hollywood arts.

People with mild stress will see the book being practical. However, those in severe stages of stress would require immediate professional handling.

[Rodel Barnachea]

Yes, it is practical. The writing is straightforward and concise. You can immediately apply what you've read. This is my experience, however, and it might be different from person to person.

While this practice might be practicable, professional guidance is still needed. Because only they properly document different unnoticeable progress. Beside sticking to a plan requires more dedication, so professional support is reuired

It's very much practical. It just takes a strong-willed person and someone who is keen to do it right.

The book is a practical guide that could help people if particularly followed well. Though, I believe some conditions might be a bit more complicated, and may require more advanced personnel. But the book is like a starter pack guide.

I do believe that it is a practical guide to relieve one's stresses and anxieties, or it least, that it can act as a beginning to finding that relief. This book doesn't act as a replacement for seeking out professional help, nor should it. But it is practical in the sense that it provides a plethora of possible solutions that could potentially help its readers.

Not to mention that seeking professional help, whether that be talking to a doctor about receiving meds, seeing a psychologist, or doing therapy can be extremely expensive, and thus result in a lack of practicality for many people. I think this book is great in the sense that it provides ideas and tools to a much broader audience and could help someone who might not have thought they could be helped.

This is more of a self-help guide.This is not say that it should replace professional mental health practitioners.

Yes, you should be be able to understand if you are capable of handling the stress or not. Even if you find yourself capable it the stress is not reducing, visiting a professional is the best choice really.

Yeah, you should never neglect yourself. If you are confident that it can work, then you should do it. However, getting a second opinion is always the better choice.

Yeah, you should be at a minimum be able to understand the cause of the stress you are feeling. If you are not able to pinpoint the cause of the stress you are facing, taking the help of a professional, is the best way to deal with the problem.
