As a psychiatric social worker, a great many of my clients suffer from anxiety and panic disorders, which are very disruptive to their lives. I have purchased quite a number of copies of "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" over the years to give to my clients. This book is very readable for the lay person, and provides a good education in what is going on in the body and mind that triggers an anxiety or panic attack. This book has helped many of my clients to learn to overcome their anxiety. I highly recommend it.

This book is a classic, really. In it Sapolsky talks about how it is not "natural" for humans to endure prolonged or frequent stress and how it affects animals in nature or otherwise. It is a good example of how we, as people in society really SHOULD (my emphasis) change our lives to rid stress out of them. We all would be healthier and would feed our spirits to a great degree if we eliminated caustic people and situations from our lives. It's a great book to even scan because you can get the gist of what the authour is trying to say, and apply it to your own life. It's difficult to change the way that we live our lives but to be happy w/in oneself, a starting point would be to get rid of the intense stress that fills our lives!
This book is complete and easy to understand for a student. It makes a great reference and has given me an understanding into the mind and how it heals your body as well as makes your body sick. Stress has been a study of science for many years and it is great to read a study on stress and how it truely affects our bodies ability to weakend. I want to send everyone I know this book so that they too can start healing by stressing less..
I love people who make these books
