Annie Payson Call diagnosed a peculiarly modern ailment: the strain we manufacture ourselves through hurry and clenched habit. Her chapters coach women and men to shed nervous tension with common sense and quiet attention. A warm, enduring classic of the mental-hygiene movement she led. Learn to unclench, one sensible habit at a time.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
