Solid Research and Personal Experience—I'm Convinced! May 27, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Stack divides her advice into 21 key areas and discusses practices or attitudes that either suck the energy out of you (her "energy bandits") or prime the pump and get you going at peak performance (her "energy boosters"). Topics covered: Sleep habits, diet, nutrition, exercise, pacing (as in "hectic work pace"), health, relaxation, resolution and state of mind, responsibilities (as in "saying no"), time management, learning/creativity, your environment (i.e., lighting and stale air), relationships, stress--from spouse or traffic or the kids, technology, purpose, workplace.
In short, Stack's philosophy seems to be if you're exhausted all the time, anything and everything--including what's between your ears--could be the culprit.
After reading her book, I'm convinced. Solid research studies back up her claims, and personal examples from her family life make her advice practical. When you buy this book, expect to change more than a few bad habits. Highly recommended.
The Exhaustion Cure is exactly what I was looking for! May 20, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Exhaustion Cure is just the guidance I was looking for. Laura Stack makes it very easy to define what exactly is bringing down your energy level by the helpful introductory "energy drain and boosters" brainstorming list. This list allowed me to take the time to identify EXACTLY what the causes of my lack of energy are and how to renew that energy by using my "energy boosters"! Laura also provides a quiz at the beginning of the book to help identify your "total energy quotient", which I can personally say was no where near what I had expected! This quiz opened my eyes to the sort of denial I had been in with how much energy I was truly lacking.
Each chapter is clearly defined and easy to follow. Laura makes this book easy to pick up time and time again, almost as a workbook, to guide you through the processes of gaining more energy and a better quality of life.
I have been through my share of "self-help", "fitness" and "wellness" books and Laura Stack combines the characteristics of all three into one successful book that I will be using for many years to come.
I have become a fan of Stack's and recommend (in addition to The Exhaustion Cure) her book, "Find More Time", to anyone who seeks to become more productive in their personal lives and to enjoy the things in life that truly matter.

Nothing new here May 20, 2008 3 out of 7 found this review helpful
Perhaps if someone has never read a women's magazine, this book may be a revelation. But, eat right, exercise, don't stress, declutter, get enough sleep....there's nothing new in that at all.
Tips on that level are the content of the book. I'd recommend browsing it at a bookstore, but unless someone has lived in a cave, there is nothing new here.
