Editorial Reviews
Review
Accessible, warm, innovative, enlightening and refreshingly short, Flagging Stress is, in the words of the Louth GP and director of Aware, ‘a simple handbook to assist us all in identifying and managing early-stage toxic stress’.In this simply written, informative and empathetic book, Barry presents a sensible holistic package, which aims at giving those of us afflicted the tools to cope. With the help of the expert advice in this book Barry hopes to help ‘many from succumbing to this potentially lethal condition’. It is, without doubt, a timely contribution to our current travails. –Independent.ie
Overall, the book is very clear and consistent in how it talks about the role of stress in readers’ lives and the development of chronic or toxic stress. The book aims to empower readers to understand themselves more and begin to find ways to manage and respond to their individual stresses more effectively. Each chapter has summary sections and the book is clearly laid out, making it very accessible to a wide range of people. –Niamh Finucane BSS (NQSW); BSocSc, Irish Association of Social Workers Journal, Summer 2011
Does Flagging Stress work as a concept? Absolutely it does. Does it provide an easy to understand and easy to follow method for managing and reducing stress? Absolutely it can. Well done Dr Harry Barry, both for a great name and a great book. –Lee Tiller, www.kerryhypnotherapy.ie
