Product Description

Book Description

At last, the perfect antidote to The Little Book of Calm.

Product Description

THE LITTLE BOOK OF CALM is a publishing phenomenon, with total world-wide sales of 1. 8 million, including 750, 000 in the UK trade alone. Now, Ebury Press brings you the perfect antidote to all that serenity. Rohan Candappa, a former copywriter turned film-maker, believes it's time to admit that stress is good. Because without stress, we would all be very, very nice. And stomach-churningly contented. And in all honesty, who wants to live in a world like that. The many and hilarious tips for increasing your own stress levels and stressing out the people around you include gems like the following: *Learn to snore *Choose friends you don't like *Put empty milk cartons back in the fridge *Become a politician. And always remember, worrying is just medication for realists. (19980908)

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest 'Little Book' ever., 26 Oct 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Little Book Of Stress: Calm Is for Wimps, Get Real, Get Stressed (Paperback)

This parody of the dreaded 'Little Book Of Calm' had me laughing out loud from start to finish. I've bought copies of it for loads of friends and I've yet to come across anyone who hasn't found it hilarious. If you're looking for something to cheer yourself up, or for a gift that's bound to be appreciated, then look no further. And all for less than two quid!

4.0 out of 5 stars "Stress is a meditation for realists", 18 Jan 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Little Book Of Stress: Calm Is for Wimps, Get Real, Get Stressed (Paperback)

A great little book. An humourous parody of all the the other 'little books' of self help mumbo jumbo...

well worth a read. Published in 'little book format' each page delivers an insightful quote on how to introduce stress into your life and the lives of others... An original pick me up!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great sarcastic humour. Always a stress buster., 15 Nov 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Little Book Of Stress: Calm Is for Wimps, Get Real, Get Stressed (Paperback)

Work is stressful enough. I keep this little book out on my desk as a reminder to not take things too seriously. If for some reason I don't chuckle at the first random suggestion I pick, I always laugh at the second. A great gift for any busy person.
