The title says it all. I just needed this for a requirement for a class (The Management of Stress and Tension at Tomas Edison State College)
Disappointed

Format:Paperback
I have purchsed many books through amazon and have always been happy. I always by good or better when I purchase used books. This was far less then "Good". It was missing pages, most of it was highlighted and marked in. The condition of the book on the outside was OK but not nice enough to call it "Good". I now can not re-sell the book like I usually do because of the less then "Good" shape it come in.
Great

I had a stress reduction class and we used this as a text book. I will never get rid of this book.. I learned so much about stress and stress reduction.
