Theoretically sound, eminently practical, and unequivocal without being rigid, this book presents an effective strategy for virtually any real-life situation.” Emery J. Cummins, emeritus professor of counseling, San Diego State University

“8 Keys to Stress Management does an exemplary job of simplifying and explaining stress, addressing its physical and psychological aspects while providing practical examples of how to manage it.

“In a global culture where ‘overwhelmed,’ ‘stressed-out,’ and ‘burned-out’ are part of our daily vocabularies, Scott shows us evolutionary alternatives that allow us to live fully and healthily. This book will prompt you to realign with your true self…and, most of all, you’ll get your twinkle back!” Ann-Marie McKelvey, LPCC, MCC, Buddhist chaplain, psychotherapist, wellness coach
