Allen Queen (educational leadership, U. of North Carolina at Charlotte) and Patsy Queen, a nurse and nursing educator, offer a five-step plan meant to help educators deal with stress, reclaim their time, and create a healthy lifestyle. They detail the stressors associated with teaching and how to prepare for, prevent, and deal with school-related stress, including how to identify good vs. bad types. They explain how to restructure personal and teaching priorities; manage and reduce stress through yoga, breathing, pilates, and other physical activities, as well as immediate stress relievers; identify and deal with time stealers (the need for perfection, procrastination, and the inability to say no); and use nutrition to support a healthy lifestyle. They include self-assessment tools, coping skills, and workbook exercises. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
