Summary: Not a cure, but a great help
Comment: Don't listen to this tape for a cure for cronic fatigue, rather as a way to get more energy without medications. If only one of the many tips he suggests gives you more energy, it's worth the money. It has certainly made me more aware of my eating and sleeping habits.

Summary: Always a wonderful writer
Comment: As with all Dr. Chopra's books, I found this one to be extremely easy to read and exceptionally well written. Using the primary idea that "Attention has power", Dr. Chopra asks us to begin using our power by bringing our attention to key issues in our lives - both physical and mental - in order to tap into our natural boundless energy. Although the author touches on the issue of chronic fatigue syndrome, this book is not for individuals suffering from that illness (although many of the principles would certainly benefit them) but rather is for the person without a specific diagnosed condition who remembers fondly a time when they had enough energy to tackle their day and not have to nap on the couch before dinner!
The reader begins with an overview of issues surrounding fatigue in our modern world and then takes a dosha quiz to determine their "type" according to Ayurvedic medicine. Having read several books on the subject of the Ayurvedic philosophy, I have to say that this was the best quiz to determine dosha I have seen thus far. Subsequent chapters have various recommendations for specific doshas when applicable. Dr. Chopra centers his text on several "Primary Energy Principles" which are statements emphasizing the connection of the body/mind and the fact that we derive our energy from the abundant energy resources of nature; lack of energy indicates an imbalance or block in this flow.
As with any Ayurvedic resource, the recommendations for overcoming fatigue are incredibly holistic. Beginning with key principles surrounding diet (by dosha) and good digestion, Dr. Chopra also encompasses issues of stress reduction (using breathing meditation, yoga postures, alternate nostril breathing exercises, and self-massage), tapping into the natural rhythms of the day (principles of good sleep, limiting high-focus or stimulating activities after dinner and before bed, getting fresh air and sunshine, getting exercise with recommendations by dosha), and paying attention not only to the health of the physical environment surrounding you but also of your mental and spiritual well-being. I found this last chapter to be particularly profound as I know many people who take to heart a "fitness plan" and never stop to examine why they do not experience passion or joy in their personal pursuits; they have stopped growing as people and the stagnation affects their bodies in profound ways despite their surface "care" of it.
If fatigue is an issue for you (is it not an issue for anyone?), this book is a recommended purchase as you will refer to it again and again as you seek to regain health and vitality in your everyday life.

Summary: A good book for those wanting help with a minor problem
Comment: This book is a good, short book with practical advice that is easy to follow if you have a relatively minor problem with fatigue. It is not intended as a work for those with CFIDS and it is not a replacement for seeing a doctor if you have a serious problem. Also, all claims in books such as this should be taken with a grain of salt. This book does not set out to prove the usefulness of the techniques described, but gives anecdotal evidence to suggest how they might help. Give it a try. Or don't. I found it helpful, but that's me. We're all individuals.
