What made the experience of listening to The Myth of Stress the most enjoyable?
Hearing about the myth of those "life event stress tests," and killing Hans Selye's sacred cow.
What other book might you compare The Myth of Stress to and why?
None I can think of.
What about Andrew Bernstein’s performance did you like?
Nice, clean narration, with the right inflection for his subject matter. Not too dramatic, not too dry, just right.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No.
Any additional comments?
Most of the book is like a series of "homework assignments" using the worksheets available at the author's website. The end result in retraining our thinking processes is no doubt very valuable for the quality of our lives. It didn't exactly make for a "fun summer read," though, even by nonfiction standards. Readers should be prepared to treat is as a "project" or maybe an extended "workshop."
