, Stress Management and Prevention“This third edition has evolved into a more ‘mindfulness’ approach to stress management within a positive psychology
framework. The student centered explanations to the neuroscience underlying the concepts are presented at a level of complex-
ity that is appreciated by science majors, but reasonably comprehensible to the non-science major as well. The video-based
activities and the ‘Reflection’ exercises provide self-assessment of individual stress levels, which enhances active student
engagement. Text content addresses multiple individual and interpersonal health belief models, thus successfully linking theory
to practice.”—Ellen Lee, RN, MS, Ed.D., CHES, adjunct faculty, Department of Health Science, California State University,
Fullerton
“An excellent book from which all students of stress management will benefit. From clearly presented theories and concepts to
vivid, real-world examples, the information provided by Dr. Chen is stimulating and thought-provoking. Dr. Chen takes more
of a positive psychological perspective when presenting stress management topics, not leaving out cultural differences that
may exist. The highlighted Reflection boxes are especially helpful in allowing students time to ponder over the information
recently read and applying it to their everyday life experiences.”—Dr. Steven J. Radlo, PhD, associate professor of stress
management and sport & exercise psychology, Western Illinois University
“Stress Management and Prevention: Applications to Daily Life is a well-organized and remarkable tool for teaching stress
management. Students will find the material interesting to read and the exercises throughout the text useful and impactful. Dr.
Chen’s book delivers scientific research about the effects of stress, along with holistic modalities designed to help students
increase their coping skills and the quality of their lives.”—Karen Fazio, MSG, HHP, gerontologist, holistic health practi-
tioner, health science and gerontology instructor, California State University, Fullerton
“Stress Management and Prevention by Dr. Chen is both insightful and comprehensive, while being understandable and
straightforward. He has written a book that anyone can digest, regardless of their stress management knowledge. The real-life
examples are immediately applicable, allowing for instant absorption. A fantastic piece of work.”—Gina Harmston, MS,
Department of Kinesiology, Department of Health Science, California State University, Fullerton
