This book is incredibly entertaining. What better stress relief than coloring the words you maybe can't say at the time of your frustration? The designs are very pretty without being TOO in-depth like other stress relief books. It is a good sized book with a nice variety of both American and British word favorites. I especially love that the book includes a website for free coloring page printables.

This is a WONDERFUL way to relax and de-stress at the end of a busy day! There are many relaxing scenes in the book, including comfy bedroom, a warm fireplace, delicious cake, classy sitting room, etc. And all of them are filled with intricate lines and swirls so you can color them to your heart's content! Psychologists say that a very effective way of getting back that sense of control is to clean, as it produces immediate and visible results; I would say this book does something extremely similar while sparking your sense of creativity! As the designs are definitely quite intricate, I would highly recommend very fine-tipped colored pencils or markers. The paper used are great for colored pencils, but I would recommend placing another sheet (or 2) of paper under the page you are coloring if you wish to use a medium that could bleed through. The front cover of the book does provide some coloration suggestions, but by all means, take your time, sit back with a warm cup of tea or wine, put on some soft music, and get lost in coloring the pages of your life!

A suggestion for the artist/publisher: perhaps consider adding a line of perforation on the binding-side so that we can tear out a page after done coloring.

This is a great coloring book for stress relief if you like very detailed drawings/coloring projects. I'm enjoying mine and often color while I chat on the phone or watch tv. Great stress relief!

I am a nurse and words from this coloring book is so true and funny! Nursing is stressful and coloring has been very therapeutic to me. Pictures are so easy to color.(I am not big fan of complicated coloring pictures. In addition, I don't wanna use my brain when I am off!.)

It is very stress-relieving and fun!  I enjoy it very much.  And almost any method of coloring works here.  Colored pencils, markers, crayons, and I have painted a couple.  I am glad I ordered this book!

Stress has become a major problem in my life and I got the book because I hoped it would help.  I felt a little silly at first, but I stuck to it sometimes with a slight tweak in my interpretation.  A good example is I had trouble drawing or coloring, so I doodled in pencil.  Then one day I realized the doodle was leading me to a repressed memory.  The writing helped me find and release it.  Then I bought some markers that made me happy and began coloring.  The way I choose to color is not the writers way, but it makes me happy.  Around day 29 my bad mood lifted.  I still write every day finding beauty or things that made me happy that day.  Between the coloring and looking for the positive, my stress is falling and Im happier and I smile.  Im shedding the pessimist clothing and letting the true optimist out.  Being optimistic has even helped me lose weight!  Dont think my problems are gone, Im just letting go of the unnecessary worry.

This may or may not be what you are expecting.
It is not a traditional book that you color in this is a digital copy of an adult coloring book. Giving you the opportunity to browse and view examples of what the book has to offer.
For me I love the relaxing and calming feelings I get when coloring. It is definitely a great stress reliever. And I love creating such beautiful 'art work' from coloring especially since I can't draw.
My favorite part is that you can download and print any of the 50 pages that you would love to color. The main reason that is my favorite part is that I can print them on a nice quality paper. That way I can beautifully color and frame them. Or sometimes you make a little mistake and if you are like me, ocd, you want to start all over. Then in that case you could reprint the page you were working on.
I did receive this item at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. In no way did amazon or the seller influence my review my review reflects my personal opinion and experience with the product.

I have recently gotten into coloring, again.  I had forgotten how peaceful and calming it could be!

During studying, while trying to re-listen to recorded lectures, I frequently found myself distracted.  I would try to clean the house or do dishes or play games, but any time I did that I found that I was not listening to the lectures.  I discovered that when I color while listening to lectures I actually paid attention, and felt like I was 'doing something'.  Coloring kept my hands busy so my brain could absorb the lecture I was listening to.

This coloring book is filled with inspirational sayings and beautiful intricate things to fill the color in on.  I felt encouraged and productive while coloring these pages.  Each page has a different image and saying on it.  The flowers leaves and other images are intricate enough that they do not feel like a child's coloring book.  I used colored pencils, but feel like gel pens would work well too.

I am very happy with this coloring book, and look forward to many more sessions of sitting and coloring.  Coloring is not only my way to help focus and study, but it can also help me mellow out, and slow my filled day and brain down.

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, try coloring!  Turn on some soothing music, and bust out the colored pencils or pens, and take some me time and color an inspirational image, you won't regret it.

What an awesome coloring book! There are 100 templates to color that are grouped in various themes....something for every taste. I use gel pens with no bleed-through as well as colored pencils. The templates are printed in black over very crisp white pages so they are easy to see, a bonus for someone like me who needs reading glasses to see anything close up. Remember when you were young and you got a new coloring book and crayons and could not wait to get home, open the book, and start coloring the pictures? That is how this book is for me. I take it to work and often color when on a break or during lunch. It is amazing how doing something as simple as coloring helps improve your mood, relaxes your stressed shoulders, and puts a smile on your face. It also challenges your imagination....who said leaves had to be gree anyway?.. If you can manage to get this book, you will truly enjoy it. It does what is says....Color Me Happy!!!!  Enjoy.

All those things you say,  feel,  or at least think about saying during that wretched time when body and mind joun forces to destroy you.  Grab your favorite coloring supplies and destress with this coloring book.  The black background allows you to color with lighter colored pens and doodle your own designs. The pictures are humerous with small enough detail to pass the time. I received this item at a discount for honest feedback.

Who ever thought that, as an adult, you could self-administer art therapy through opting for coloring in pictures? If you haven't heard about it yet, doing so might seem too close to retreating into ones second childhood for comfort. However, one of the most sophisticated nations, if not the most sophisticated nation, on earth, France, has come up with just such a form of seeking stress relief. With over 350,000 sales in the bag, the publishers of 100 Coloriages Anti-Stress are coining the market in creating therapeutic manuals featuring the most involved pictures of artworks from the Middle Ages, patterns that are enough to turn Austin Powers think-alikes into spasms of ecstasy, and the most apparently intricate landscaped gardens that have ever been framed.

Now, from the pen of the lifelong artist, Wendy Piersall, comes a collection of thirty wildlife designs that will have you reaching for your crayons, paints, and felt-tip pens in the blink of an eye. Not only will coloring these wonderfully seductive and intriguing pictures in provide you with relief from the hurry and scurry of everyday life and its seemingly ever-present demands, but you will also be able to reach a little closer to your own personal Nirvana. Each of the pictures is, in fact, a mandala (Sanskrit for circle), which is a means of retreating from the world that has been used for eons as an aid to meditation and healing. So both old and new impulses are catered for in this diverse mix of lions, dragons, peacocks and unicorns, among other creatures of both real and fantasy worlds.

If you are a parent, why not join your kids in their coloring-in activitiesafter all, you can legitimately give yourself time off, while participating in an enjoyable pastime with them as well. If you are a harassed employee, who desperately needs to put your feet up at the end of a hard days work, yet who cannot abide to face another evening of same old, same old TV, why not relax by focusing on a quiet and soothing way of spending some hard-won me time, helping to create an artwork that will look beautiful with minimal effort, and experience, on your side? Coloring Animal Mandalas might just also set you free from stereotypical thinking regarding age-appropriate activities, and open you up to a whole new world of self-exploration and delight. Just give Piersall a chance to take you there, and you won't be looking back, but only forwards to your next colorful creation!
