HOT UNDER THE BREAST POCKET: James A. Blumenthal of Duke University Medical Center uses meditation and other techniques to teach students strategies to quell anger and hostility.

A Barnes and Noble or Borders bookstore carries many of the 1,000 or so stress management guides, primers and tomes all intent on revitalizing, detoxing and stream-lining the lives of road ragers and drivers in the fast lane, idiots and dummies, managers and underlings, and a host of others based on the principles of Zen or the habits of zebras. The promise is inner peace and healing, emotional wellness and self-renewal in six seconds, one minute, 16 minutes or a day. Or you could avoid sweating the small stuff altogether.
