From academics to athletics to music lessons and more, today's adolescents carry a heap of responsibility, often not in line with their own objectives. Here, McCraty (director of research, HeartMath Inst.) with a team of other educators aims to help teens manage stress, anxiety, daily emotions, and more. Based primarily on techniques involving emotional regulation skills, the work assists young people in understanding their emotions, listening to their inner voices, communicating with integrity, and developing healthy relationships. Differentiating between statements such as "chill out" and actually relaxing, the authors seek to put life into perspective and to show teens how to do right by themselves by taking a step back and listening to their inner selves. VERDICT Recommended for YA collections in high school and public libraries.

Gr 9 Up-A common complaint among teens is that too many things stress them out. Without a proper definition and understanding of stress, it is easy to understand why students do not know how to approach and remedy the situation. McCraty, Goelitz, Moor, and Lance define stress as a feeling or emotion in response to an external event or happening. The authors go on to outline steps and strategies such as heart-focused breathing and better communication skills. Most of the content follows the HeartMath System-a process developed by the HeartMath Institute, a nonprofit research organization. VERDICT While the text is accessible, the different exercises may be somewhat overwhelming to average teens on their own; better suited for group participation.-Jeanette Lambert, Nashville-Davidson County Schools, TN
