	Fighting Invisible Tigers: Stress Management for Teens I wrote this book to help young people understand what was going on "inside" when they are at the limits of their ability to cope with their world. They will learn about the "normal" feelings, physical symptoms, and other signals that indicate a person is living too close to the edge. I also describe both long term (life skills) and short term strategies for becoming more stress resilient. There is a helpful section of the book that helps young people know what to do with "tiger bites," what to do RIGHT NOW if they are feeling stressed out, at their limits, and don't know where to turn.  Almost a quarter of a million happy customers can't be wrong. This is THE book for young people on the subject of stress.

	Help for the Hard Times: Getting Through Loss Adolescence is really another word for loss. It's a time in a young persons life that is just full of large and small losses. Unfortunately, this is also a time in their lives when they have the least life experience, a very limited emotional vocabulary, and are poorly equipped to understand and cope with these emotion laden events. The result of their attempts to cope with losses at this age, are sometimes tragic and almost always result in more suffering than necessary. This book will help any teenager to better cope with their losses and resulting grief. P.S. It's a great book for adults too!
