Stress Relief and Relaxation Techniques

Lazarus offers a genuinely useful survey of relaxation modalities — enough variety that most readers will find something that works for them. The breadth is also the limitation: nothing goes deep enough to be truly authoritative, and some of the complementary medicine techniques lack robust evidence. It's a reasonable starting point for someone who wants to sample options, but dedicated books on meditation, breathwork, or biofeedback will serve most readers better.
