Take Control of Your Life is for all those who find that stress impacts in one way or another on their lives. Dr Gail Ratcliffe, one of New Zealand's foremost psychologists, maintains that recognising the many guises of stress is the first step to securing personal happiness.

In her no-nonsense practical style, Dr Ratcliffe offers a 'five-step plan' that will provide you with the tools to design the life you want to live and deal with the things that cause you stress.
