“Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys to stress management, which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life.”

"Olivia looked in the mirror. Sometimes she did not recognize herself. What had happened to the friendly, bubbly person that once lived in this body? Not only that. As she looked, she saw stress etched on her face, the story of her life. . "

Dr. Claire Smith is a mentor, leader, and a true friend. To read this book is like sitting down with all three. In Help! I Want Out Dr. Claire gently guides the reader toward a clear path to better living that is grounded in healthy choices, spiritual care, and decisive action. If you need to make changes in your life to be more free, I can't recommend this book enough.

Dr. Claire A. Smith has brilliantly written a “to-the-point”, no-nonsense, simplistic” book for anyone needing basic fundamentals on how to de-stress their life. Well done!

“Do not stress. God loves you.” [Olivia] had forgotten that one. “You do not need to be like anyone else. God loves you as you are. God made you.” Oh. If she could only believe that. “God has a purpose for your life.” That was about when she had stopped going. “I wonder what that was all about, but I was so busy I couldn’t even stick around long enough to find out.” Indeed, your life has a purpose.
