How it works: Believe it or not, adult coloring books are some of the best-selling books in America right now (above Stephen King's latest release and George Bush's biography). Most of us haven't picked up a crayon since kindergarten, but research shows that the practice is actually highly therapeutic for adults.
As it turns out, grownups have been coloring in the name of stress relief for decades. Renowned psychologist Carl Jung used encourage his patients to color in mandalas as a way of releasing their subconscious.
Coloring, much like more traditional forms of meditation, induces relaxation by transferring focus away from outside stresses and onto something simpler and more specific. It also evokes childhood nostalgia, which has a further calming effect.
