Elizabeth lives in south Dublin. She has three children, a dog, and a cat. She is divorced. Her education included a brief year in Commerce in UCD; and five years studying Veterinary Medicine, also in UCD. Her career has included working in a pharmacy; working in the UK and in Donegal as a Veterinary Surgeon; being a Veterinary Inspector in the Department of Agriculture; running her own veterinary practice for about a decade, and running a post office.Writing started as a hobby and became a fixation! In starting up Flagstone Publishing, her aim was to promote reading as an expansion of the mind, to encourage people to broaden their thinking and to enjoy books in a world that is increasingly daunting and seems to be losing its grasp on simplicity. We strive always to only use sustainable forestry paper and eco-friendly materials, and packaging that is free of plastic. Flagstone Publishing will hopefully produce many of the best books! There is a unique sense of accomplishment in reading a book that one enjoyed: it stays with you like an ally, a friend, with an unspoken loyalty and a positive influence on your own creativity.

Certainly an excellent topic to write about! The ideal book to read on a vacation, or on an similar relaxing environment, but rather than reading a relaxing book about how to de-stress, the book itself was a bit too stuffy, stressful. The message was a bit lost, but the way around it, is to read the rather short book in pieces. It's a good try, and helpful, but not terrible. 3 stars.

I received this book through the early reviewers member giveaway.I guess I was hoping for some revolutionary method to reduce stress but everything was tactics I've already heard of/tried. The part about herbs is interesting but that was really the only part I found informative. I think it's very basic and doesn't really scratch the surface of living stress free.I found many typos, too.

This was very annoying to read. I won it through the members giveaway program and the bottom of every page said this is a review copy, do not distribute. I read it on a nook and the formatting was awful. Different size fonts and random bold lettering for no reason. The actual information was nothing new or interesting. Sleep well, eat well, do yoga. One chapter on aromatherapy. I didn't learn anything useful.

I won this through a Library Thing giveaway.This book came at the right time. I've been stressed out and not sleeping. This book gave me some great ways to identify stress and how to deal with it. Granted, you have to do the work but I'm starting to realize some of the signs. I try to remember one thing from the book per day. I highly recommend purchasing this book.

The Stress Free You explores the nature of stress, and how to go about dealing with it - and maybe even eliminating it - from your life.First up is an exploration of the origins and physical nature of stress - what happens in the body, how it helped our ancient ancestors survive, and how it continues to affect our lives in both positive and negative ways today. Fortunately, there are techniques which have long been proven to reduce stress and its destructive effects. The Stress Free You lays out all these methods and clearly explains how to use them to clear some of the stress out of your life.The various methods include meditation, yoga, tai chi, accupuncture, herbal remedies and good nutrition (including vitamins for bolstering the immune system), aromatherapy, sleep, and a healthy mental state and attitude. The end section includes useful tips for dealing with stress at work, school, and home.This book is well thought out, and while there are no big surprises here, it delivers exactly what it promises - solid, proven methods for weeding the unhealthy stress, anxiety and fear out, so you can enjoy life and feel good.O'Brien's writing style is clear, and concise - this book is easy for busy (stressed!) people to read, digest, and use.
