NOTES

Dear Patient, This book is about learning to cope with stress. Of course, relaxation and various other therapies have already been designed to help people learn to cope with stress. Unfortunately, relaxation tapes, bio-feedback, yoga, and meditation tend to produce tense people who know how to do a relaxation exercise, but these therapies fall short of helping people to become relaxed personalities. They just don't suit our times. We live in a convenience-oriented, fast-lane society in which we are expected to be always on the go, either working hard or playing hard. In real life, when you feel tense, you can't say, 'Excuse me, I have to go and lie down now and listen to my relaxation tape for twenty minutes.' It's easier just to pop a pill and forget it. Over the years, I have found that many of my patients don't feel they can take even two or three minutes off to relax. This book contains relaxation techniques that can be done on the go, while travelling in the fast lane. This book is written from the standpoint of principle therapy. A principle is a generality of wisdom or knowledge. This form of therapy is designed to provide you with practical strategies and wisdom to help you deal with life and reduce stress. One good principle is worth a thousand good facts. The principles in this therapy will be useful to solve or resolve the problems you now have. What cannot be cured can be endured. Having learned these principles, you will find them portable, and you will be better equipped to deal with other problems in your life as they arise
