Yes, but many cultures may frown some practices mentioned and may suggest other methods that will relieve you of stress and anxiety.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑17 Aug 2020, 06:39 Beckygithui1994 wrote:

I believe what you meant to say was that some people from other cultures might not find the book practical.

Mostly, homogeneous cultures are strict on following social norms. These habits can hinder individuals from using a modern approach to solve stress and anxiety.

Another issue with culture is language barrier. If a subject is in a different culture, that doesn’t speak their native language, it may be difficult to find help.diamonnd wrote: ↑17 Aug 2020, 16:18 Culture is a big part of person's identity and there are some cultures that still stigmatize the need for mental health resources. This makes it difficult for some people to get the help they need. I think some of the techniques in this book, like meditation, are helpful for people who do not have access to professional help because of the cultural stigma.

Since meditation can be done in seclusion, it’s a good remedy in a culture where going public with your issues is prohibited.rahilshajahan wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020, 09:48 It should be that culture shouldn't come in ones way of improving oneself. If meditating helps you, you do it; your culture shouldn't have a say in it.

On the contrary, not all cultures in third world are marginalized. In fact, majority of the cultures in third world countries have more access to natural remedies than the expensive track of using medication.ciecheesemeister wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020, 10:02 People in industrialized nations will have greater access to more of the treatments mentioned in the book than those who live in third-world nations.

It’s for that reason that sensitization is required. Cultural norms can still be followed provided they also have a tolerance to dealing with stress and anxiety, in the recommended ways.Samgum50 wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020, 10:16 In certain cultures mental health isn't taken as a serious issue. Since I am an African from Kenya, I can attest to that. Some of the remedies here would be scoffed at because mental health has never been taken as seriously as it should. Which is something that should change. People would rather suppress what they're going through than admit and seek alternate treatment.
