SYNOPSIS: While writing their acclaimed The Stress Solution, husband-and-wife authors Lyle Miller and Alma Dell Smith realized that marriage is one of life's most potent sources of stress--yet it can also be a lifesaving refuge from outside tensions. Now drawing on their unique resources as directors at the Biobehavioral Institute in Boston and as a couple, they provide invaluable guidance in this reassuring book. While no intimate relationship can ever be stress-free, Stress and Marriage helps you protect yourself from the devastating physical and emotional consequences of mismanaged, misunderstood, or just plain ignored stress. Use proven clinical tools, including the Marital Stress Inventory and the Making It Better Questionnaire, to pinpoint sources of stress in your relationship and formulate a customized Marital Stress Action Plan. You'll also find case studies throughout that are powerfully enlightening. Stress and Marriage provides clear, practical methods and examples that will help couples understand each other better, significantly relieve the tension in their lives, and positively transform their marriages. Even if your partner never reads a page of this book, you'll learn ways to change your communicating style that will reduce marital discord and lead you to a calmer, happier, healthier life. - and - Stress and Marriage will help you discover: The "life script" you created in childhood, and how it can backfire on you today; Ways to avoid making personal, permanent, and pervasive criticisms that fuel bickering, arguments, and fights; Which of the three action strategies--fighting, fleeing, and flowing--best suits a particular problem; How your birth order tendencies can mesh or clash with your mate's; Negotiation techniques in power struggles over money, children, sex, careers, time, and space; The crucial difference between privacy and secrecy; Nonverbal messages that can sabotage your spoken statements; What you can do to build on the good things your mate does; The benefits of acknowledging differences in culture, intellectual style, energy level, and other areas. Lyle H. Miller, Ph.D., is the founder and director of the Biobehavioral Institute of Boston. He has held a number of academic posts, including professor and chairman of the Department of Biobehavioral Sciences at Boston University Medical Center. He has appeared as a stress expert on Donahue and Hour Magazine. Dr. Miller is the coauthor, with his wife, Alma Dell Smith, and Larry Rothstein, of The Stress Solution.

Descripción de la tienda
For a good portion of the 1990's, our family was interested in the idea of entering the used book business. We are all avid readers, book lovers, and book collectors who cannot pass a bookstore without popping in. Family trips to the library and our local used bookstore were a regularity while growing up. With each of us having interests in different genres (with a little overlapping here and there), we cover a lot of bases. The thought of having a store of our own was appealing, and the hunt was on - both for stock and a location. We thought to combine under one roof many different things that would appeal to readers and book lovers. Not only used books, but some new items as well. Bookmarks (to ward off dog-eared pages), bookends (to keep those out-of-control collections under control), bookplates (to label books on the "Can I borrow that?" circuit to ensure that they always found their way home), book repair tape (to lend a helping hand to collectors with tattered favourites in their collections), and so on. With an interest in book-themed knick knacks as well, we had two sides to our would-be business: books and knick-knacks. Hence the business was born. In the early part of 1998 we bought a commercial property, and in the summer we first opened our doors in a storefront in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. With start-up stock consisting of a garage full of books hand-picked for just such a venture that we purchased from someone who changed their plans, we were in business. For several years we operated in this storefront, growing our business and learning about the industry and the backbone of it - the customers. It was very satisfying to be present at the end of someone's book quest, as we were quite often. Many a time we heard shouts of joy from somewhere in the shop as customers happened upon just what they'd been looking for (oftentimes for quite a while). At other times, people would approach us with bits and pieces of information that they remembered from long ago favourites in hopes that we could at least help them come up with an author or title to help in their search, which we often times did, with the book in hand. And when we couldn't come up with anything on our own, we would pick the brains of other customers in conversation, or turn to the internet for help for them. For us, quality and selection of stock go hand-in-hand with customer service. One isn't much good without the other. But times, people, places, and lives change and after several years in our storefront we made a change of our own - in 2004 we relocated to the internet. Now a home-based business in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, we are gradually bringing our inventory online here. We carry used paperbacks, hardbacks, and magazines for both adults and children. We have thousands upon thousands of books that are not yet listed for sale on the internet, but are gradually making their way there.…

Condiciones de envío
We realize that the packaging and shipping of your purchase is an important aspect of your order. You have spent time carefully selecting which copy of a book to purchase (Thank you for choosing ours!), often based on its described condition. Bearing this in mind, we carefully package your purchase using:
- cardboard boxes or cardboard shipping wraps
- cardboard wrap in a Poly Mailer
- bubble wrap
- foam wrap
- air bags
- paper fill
While we often re-use shipping materials, we only do so with clean materials that are worthy of the job. We believe in the second "R" in "Reduce, Re-use, Recycle" when it comes to shipping, but only if it does not compromise your purchase.
Choosing the most appropriate materials suited to your purchase, we package up your parcel, taking the time to do everything we can to ensure its safe and secure delivery to you. Attention is paid to protecting corners and boards of hardcover books and ensuring that paperback books cannot be curled or folded while in transit. To ensure that no moisture damage occurs while in transit, we make sure that a plastic, protective barrier is a part of your package, either by using a Poly Mailer or by plastic bagging/wrapping your book(s) if a cardboard box is to be used for shipping. No loose edges or flaps are left on the outside of packages to ensure smooth flow and safe journey through postal system sorting and scanning equipment. An Invoice and Packing Slip are always safely enclosed with your book(s), so that should an unfortunate incident occur to exterior labelling and/or packaging, postal employees can identify the rightful owner of the contents and complete delivery. We try to think of everything!
We then choose one of the various shipping services offered by Canada Post to meet your chosen shipping timeframe. While not all services include a Tracking Number, if the one that we choose to use does, we enter this number into the Order Details and/or email our customers this information, so that its delivery progress can be monitored, if customers choose to do so. Packages that are shipped including a Tracking Number also include Insurance. If we choose to ship a package using a service that does not include a Tracking Number and Insurance, it is only when it is not economically feasible to do otherwise.
If you have any special requests regarding packaging and shipping, please just let us know. We want to work with you to ensure complete purchase satisfaction.
When initiating a RETURN: (1) Please notify us of your intent to return a purchase and the reason why via email. (2) Please initiate the Return through abebooks, using the correct procedures (see abebooks Help for reference). (3) Please return the item (in the condition you received it) to us packed as you received it in the packing material you received it in, using the same or similar postal service.
