Product Description
The biological and psychological roots of fatigue have long been known; less understood is how to treat it and thus counter its consequences ? stress, unhealthy eating habits, sedentary lifestyle, depression, and anxiety. This book offers readers holistic, in-the-moment tools for getting rid of tension and stress; improving quality of life; and banishing the negative self-talk that generates feelings of tiredness, burnout, and distress. Readers learn methods adapted from both Western and Eastern disciplines, such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, simple meditation, visualization, energy-balancing techniques, and mastering the art of saying no. Simplifying material needs, applying self-acupressure and massage, and becoming familiar with herbal remedies are part of the authors? simple but comprehensive approach.

 A practical, holistic view to overcome tiredness May 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is for anyone who has ruled out a medical cause for their fatigue and wants to examine their life to see what they can do to help themselves feel less tired. It contains a gold mine of ideas and techniques that one can put into practice immediately. It is easy to read and summarizes a myriad of ways one may be feeling tired and how this can be targeted from many different angles. It contains an excellent overview of helpful techniques examining ways to overcome tiredness from a physical and mental health point of view, as well as in one's spiritual life. The authors did a great job of offering pithy, practical techniques from Western and Eastern medicine, psychotherapy, and East/West spirituality, for the mind, body, and spirit. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with feeling tired.
 Don't waste your time... May 20, 2007

This book starts off promising, covering in slim detail some of the more well-known causes of fatigue (lack of sleep, poor diet, minimal exercise) and then goes on to discuss different approaches to wellbeing, both Western and Eastern. However, the book quickly devolves into a mish-mash of anectdote's about the authors' personal life (apparently they are always energetic and as such all their "tricks" must work for most everyone.) While slowly veering off its original intention, "Stop Feeling Tired!" becomes more focused on simplifying your life as a means of improving your overall wellbeing. The idea here is that the fatigue is caused by numerous factors. However, the last half of the book seems to not hold faithful to those ideas. It seems unorganized and at times loaded with filler. Lastly, the final 1/4 of the book turns into an out-of-left field pitch for Christianity. While the authors knowingly mention other forms of "spirituality", they focus on Christianity (their admitted religion.) They even go so far as to mention the questionable study which found that hospital patients who were prayed for recovered faster than one's who weren't prayed for. Wait just a second... am I trying to improve my energy levels or be converted to Christianity? If you are a Christian and happy, good for you, this book may line up well with your ideals. If you are not, or are of another religion, I suggest you steer clear of this book. The fact that the push for Christianity was hidden at the end of the book is in poor taste and is undeserving of the money of unsuspecting non-Christians.

A quick read and a good book to begin learning some techniques for simplifying your life, finding balance, and feeling less tired. The authors are clear that, barring a medical condition requiring treatment by a physician, fatigue can be addressed through an understanding of the mind-body connection. The authors offer some very practical ideas for stress reduction and include a discussion of nutrition and how diet affects our mood and energy-level. If you're interested in feeling better, less tired, and are ready and willing to change your life, this book is a good place to begin the journey. Many of the ideas put forth in this book are also found in Dr. Andrew Weil's 8 Weeks to Optimum Health.

As coauthors we are very disappointed with the large number of editorial errors accidentally inserted into the printed book after our final review of proofs. One of the most glaring mistakes was the misspelling of George's degree, which should read "Psy.D." (Doctor of Psychology), on both the front cover and title page. We hope the errors do not detract from our book's message. George and Christie Zgourides
