Loretta LaRoche has been called “the Erma Bombeck of stress reduction”—and in the helpful and hilarious pages of this entertaining book, her enormous talent for finding the funny detail to defuse even the most difficult situation has never been sharper.
Relax—You May Only Have a Few Minutes Left is filled with practical exercises, hilarious anecdotes, and specific advice for coming to terms with today’s ever-increasing stress levels—it’s a remedy for anxiety and a prescription for laughter.
In sections such as “If You Don’t Have to Suffer—Don’t Practice,” “My Mother the CEO,” and “I’m Not Afraid of Heights, Just Widths,” Loretta dismantles our American predilection for taking ourselves too seriously and shows us how to live longer, happier lives using the healing power of the absurd.
