From the publisher

Experts in cognitive-behavioral psychology and oriental medicine provide an integrative, step-by-step plan that helps readers increase personal energy in a matter of minutes, helps them attain better health, and restores mental and spiritual balance. There are about 10-15 million of us who go to the doctor each year seeking a cure for persistent feelings of fatigue, something researchers believe is linked to American living and its accompanying stress, unhealthy eating habits, sedentary lifestyle, depression, and anxiety. As experts in both cognitive-behavioral psychology and oriental medicine, the authors are well versed in the body-mind connection and its relationship to stores of energy. Readers are given energy-enhancing techniques from both schools of thought that get rid of tension and stress, improve quality of life, and banish the negative self-talk that generates feelings of tiredness, burnout and distress. These simple techniques increase energy in a matter of minutes, and include easy-to-use exercises for relaxation, simple meditation, visualization, and mastering the fine art of saying no. Readers learn the importance of eating right, exercising, setting a course for self-fulfillment, and balancing qi -or finding the right amount of energy: not too little (fatigue) and not too much (mania), that is crucial for healthy energy. Instruction is given in simplifying materialistic needs, applying self-acupressure and massage, and becoming familiar with herbal remedies. Also included are techniques for continuing to renew the soul, emphasize overall health, and realize life's purpose. About the Authors George D.
