Reviews

Eliot, director of the Institute of Stress Medicine and author of the best-selling Is It Worth Dying For? (Bantam, 1989), spends the first half of this book trying to convince readers that sudden cardiac death may strike at any time. "You could drop dead today," he warns, and he spends the second half of the book outlining all the steps that must be taken to avoid a premature demise. Various superficial self-assessment tests (including a "should I read this book?" test) attempt to highlight problems and encourage desirable behavior. The message is similar to many other stress guides, namely, that worry, anger, and helplessness cause physical harm, whereas relaxation, humor, and "positive self-talk" lead to a healthier life. The advice is generally useful, but there's nothing new here.
