How to Live Stress Free in a Stressful World

What Does Not Work

There is not a shortage of gimmicks, fads, philosophies and pharmaceuticals, all claiming to be a solution for anxiety and stress management.

I'll come straight to the point. They are a waste of time and money. I know because I've been there, done that.

Those tranquilizers and/or anti-depressants the doctor wants you to take are only going to hide the symptoms and create new problems. Soon you'll need a pill to fix the side effects of the first pill, then yet another pill to fix the side effects of the second pill and on and on. It's a never ending cycle.


Temporary Solutions - Not Good

One morning, years ago, I woke up and took a good hard look at the 7 different medications the doctor had prescribed for "stress management". What had started out as being one little pill 2 years earlier had grown into a total of 7 prescriptions to "help with the side effects".

That morning, I trashed all 7 of them and cried out to Hashem for help. I then spent 3 days going through withdrawal, which was no picnic in the park. It felt great to be free of doctors and their pills, but I soon discovered that the stress and anxiety was still there, it had never left. The next years were a constant struggle with stress, fighting off depression and a lot of prayer.


What Does Work - The Trail To Tranquility



My prayers have been answered. Stress, anxiety, depression, all gone.

All of that has been replaced with happiness, joy and an inner peace that is beyond explanation.

It is something you have to experience to understand, because words can't describe it. This can happen for you too.

Do yourself a favor. Get the book The Trail To Tranquility.

Do it now, don't delay. Follow the advice in the book. It really works.
