SYNOPSIS

Women are naturally talented and have an inborn capacity to play many dynamic roles in their lives, such as that of a daughter, a wife, a mother and so on. In all these roles, she sacrifices her own aspirations and desires to make others happy.

This brings stress and suffocation in her life. The author portrays 40 such situations in a housewife's life forcing her to deal with them all by herself. Certain simple aerobic exercises, morning and evening walks, meditation, listening to good music and reading a book could be some of the stress busters to bring smile on her face.

The book includes tables and charts to measure your stress level.
