Praises for Outsmart Stress!

In a world that does not provide us with the time and space to process many of our actions and reactions to daily problems, we are often left feeling frustrated, helpless and stressed.  Monica Magnetti's book Outsmart Stress provides the reader with new ways of looking at each situation, and easy to follow exercises that can turn most stressful situations into positive life experiences.”

-Dr. Penny Kendall-Reed, Naturopathic Doctor

Co-author of four best-selling books, including The Complete Doctor’s Stress Solution.

To outsmart stress, we really have to outsmart our habitual, automatic mind processes. In this little book Monica Magnetti identifies three of the core mind-habits that generate stress for many of us. In clear language and using easy-to-follow exercises she leads us to become the wise Observer in our lives rather than the helpless victim of self-created stress.
