[00:07.62]Self-help books
[00:10.10]3 The advice you will hear comes from two books
[00:15.20]one gives serious advice,the other is a joke.

[00:26.84]a) Water while-you-wait
[00:30.20]You can never drink enough water,
[00:32.60]so keep a bottle of filtered water
[00:34.18]in your car and drink it
[00:36.03]while you wait at red lights.
[00:37.97]This is an especially useful health tip
[00:39.93]for people who spend a lot of time on the road.
[00:45.24]b)Musical relief
[00:49.33]Music can bring calm and peacefulness
[00:51.78]to anxious moments.
[00:53.53]And the beauty is,it can travel with you.

[00:59.16]with you on public transport,
[01:01.22]while waiting in queues
[01:02.43]or when you're out walking or jogging.
[01:07.42]c) Empty your brain
[01:11.32]Just like a dustbin,the brain can overflow
[01:14.68]with unwanted"rubbish".

[01:19.78]thoughts for five minutes three times a day.
