This book should have been titled more than the exhaustion cure. It is the makeover your life cure and boy does it work. There are some of the best suggestions to make your life work out just right. I couldn't help marking up page after page of this book and by the time I was done, the book was so dog-eared I could barely close the darn thing, let alone pile any other book on top of it without it tumbling off. Really! It was that good of a book! You should definitely read it. It will help you with family issues, work related issues, house related issues, bills, stress, educational, self help stuff, sleep, healthful eating and fitness, and more. Take my advice when I tell you to order this book today! When you're done with it, I guarantee that, like me, you will be tumbling to the site to find more books to read by Laura Stack. Because she is kick a** productive woman who can allow for us to make a world of change in our lives for the better. Thank God for Laura Stack! Keep 'em coming woman! ( )

I picked this up after listening to The Ultimate Time Management System by the same author. Again, there is nothing groundbreaking here, but she does a good job combining and condensing a lot of the best advice into a workable system. By workable, I mean it has two very important features: it is both flexible and easy (or at least possible) to implement (which is not true of some other books on similar subjects).

She has chapters covering a broad array of topics, beginning with things like sleep, nutrition, and exercise, which makes sense because these really are fundamental factors underlying health and energy level. And there is of course material on time management and getting organized, which is her area of expertise. But she goes beyond that and covers everything from positive thinking and relationships to saying no (for more on which, see William Ury's The Power of a Positive No). There is even a section on the importance of dental hygiene. But I especially love that she included chapters on lifelong learning, and purpose and pursuing your dreams. She really covers all the bases, which is a pretty impressive feat. While some of her advice on, say, nutrition may be outdated, this is probably inevitable given the controversial, still-evolving nature of the field. In general, her advice is sound, and those who are suffering from a low energy level (assuming it's not caused by some underlying medical condition they need to have treated) would probably benefit a great deal by following it.

The book was mediocre at best. Most of the information is rather obvious and not insightful. Save your time reading this book and use your common sense. ( )

The format is great -- especially for someone who IS fatigued. Quick little bites.

Unfortunately, there are at least a few pieces of outdated advice included, which makes me wary of the rest of the advice. Caffeinated beverages DO count in your daily water intake. Caffeine can INCREASE concentration. It happens that those two examples both involve caffeine, but they're two that I happen to know have been only recently "discovered."

Maybe those errors are the only ones in the book, but how can I trust the rest? It seems likely that the sections about time management and work environment would be less likely to have errors since those are the author's specialties, but having read the medical part first, I'm disillusioned. ( )
