Need stress relief? You need the Big Library Read.

Living through a pandemic has definitely been challenging and we could all benefit from embracing humor to reduce stress together, right?

FCPL patrons can do just that by checking out psychologist and stand-up comedian Brian King’s The Art of Taking It Easy, with no holds and no waiting from the library's OverDrive eBook collection.

Read The Art of Taking It Easy

The Art of Taking It Easy is available through OverDrive's Big Library Read program, the world’s largest digital book club, and is available for immediate checkout to library cardholders through April 19, 2021.

Learn to Manage Stress with Dr. Brian King

Dr. Brian King got a degree in psychology before becoming a world-touring comic and the host of humor therapy seminars attended by more than ten thousand people each year. The Art of Taking It Easy explores what stress is, where it comes from, and what it does to our bodies and brains. He delves deep into how to address everyday stress—as well as anxiety, insecurities, repression, and negativity—and gives insight into resulting ailments such as anxiety disorders, depression, hypertension, obesity, substance abuse disorders, and more.

Dr. King's techniques are chemical and cost free, and embrace humor, resilience, relaxation, optimism, gratitude, and acceptance. Instead of a dry medical approach to dealing with stress, this unique volume is filled with life-changing tips and instructions presented with humor and a wealth of memorable, smile-inducing anecdotes.
