In 2015 Phil Barth suffered a “small heart attack” (according to his doctor). After surgery he was told to “manage my stress or get ready for a big heart attack”. Phil heeded the warnings and set about lowering his stress, and wrote a best selling book about the journey “Great Things Happen Every Day – Finding Joy with Family, Friends and Banana Milkshakes”. Through the journey he discovered nine tricks to managing stress (Phil calls them the Nine S’s of Successful Stress Management).
