The Art of Taking It Easy: How to Cope with Bears, Traffic, and the Rest of Life's Stressors by Brian King

4.0

I picked up this book entirely on a whim when it was shown to me as a "Big Library Read". As someone with a diagnosed anxiety disorder, stress and methods to cope with said stress are a large part of my life.

I really enjoyed the balance of the book - which I suppose comes from the author being both a doctor and a comedian. King did a great job of presenting the science in a way that was accessible and not at all overwhelming, as well as providing advice in a way that wasn't too preachy or over the top. While much of the content I already had a working knowledge of, I still walked away with some usable tips and some new information. 3.5 stars rounded to 4.
