Like Greek drama, the play's theme and form are rooted in religion, ritual purgation and renewal, and it was this return to the earliest sources of drama that brought poetry triumphantly back to the English stage at the time. "The theatre is enriched by this poetic play of grave beauty and momentous decision." --The New York Times&nbsp.…

Eliot identifies "hot reactors"-apparently healthy people who overreact to such common occurrences as losing a tennis game or missing a train.

He offers a complete program for recognizing, reducing, and reversing the hidden effects of stress in your life-to make stress work for you, not against you. You'll learn: .
