  • What do your students like most about Managing Stress?

     The readability and applicability to their lives are the main things. I have never had a student complain about this text or anything in it. I have a new young colleague now that also teaches some stress management and he told me he has loved the Seaward text since he used it as a student of mine a few years ago and there was no question what text he was going to use.

    -John E. Leary, State University of New York at Cortland

    The language that is used is very appealing.  It’s not all theoretical and conceptual; students can actually relate and use the book. I’ve had countless students tell me that they aren’t selling this book back at the end of the semester.  They also love the relaxation CDs that come with the text.
