This is the only guide you will need to understand and combat deadly stress. Full of techniques and exercises to help you recover your: -Enjoyment in life -Sexual Energy -Peace -Vitality -Concentration Herbert Gooden presents a good sound perspective, not the typical "massage" book at all I love how he weave scientific information as well as a more eastern approach throughout - the mix really pulls it together. I think it really teaches the lay person how massage affects you on so many different levels - how it's not just an hour of "rub a dub dub" . I found the chapter on cortisol really interesting and informative. I think he's done an excellent job in keeping it simple and easy to understand. This book is a great resource and full of useful information and techniques for individual, massage therapists and bodywork professionals.
