Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Stress
Walter McQuade · 1993
55/100
👎 Skip It
McQuade and Aikman were doing genuinely important popularization work in 1974, bringing the stress-disease connection to a general audience before it was mainstream. But five decades of subsequent research have superseded most of the specific science here, and readers seeking current guidance on stress and health have far better options. Its value today is primarily historical.
