Добра базова книга за най-разпространените причини на генералното изтощение, което масово владее хората днес. Хареса ми, че е написана достъпно, но обяснява някои основни процеси, които протичат в човешкото тяло, дава конкретни примери и начини за преодоляване на умората, без да назидава или да продава универсални рецепти тип "усмихвай се пред огледалото всяка сутрин и всичко ще ти бъде наред."

I'm not sure why so many people are surprised that the information in this book is not new or revolutionary. The book never promises to be that. It does, however, promise to provide reasons why you could be exhausted and different areas of your life to evaluate. I liked the way the information was presented and the examples provided were clear and easily connectable to the point the authors were trying to make.

There is no NEW information about our health that you have not (most likely) heard before. If you think that there is some miracle cure out there for your issues it's time for a reality check. This book provides a nice breakdown of the root causes and how to treat them or at least where to start looking and what tools you can use that may be able to help.

If you've read all the self-help books for exhaustion, yeah, you're probably not going to learn anything new. You could learn a different perspective though and that could be all you need to get your health journey on track.

In a sentence: eat well, exercise, meditate, take supplements and "be spiritual". Nothing ground breaking

This is a great book for individuals who don’t know where to begin in their health journey. It provides information to help readers diagnose the reasons behind their exhaustion. It’s perfect for the person who has no idea or knowledge on how to exercise self-care or self-love. The book provides great information and solutions that the reader can incorporate into their lifestyle to remedy their exhaustion and to begin living a happier, healthy and energetic life.

This is the first nonfiction book I’ve started and finished in, like, over a year, so that has to get a few stars out of me. That said, this book really opened my eyes to my exhaustion, but I’m also left at a standstill.

According to this book, I feel like the world has become a toxic environment filled with toxic substances in our food, air, clothes, habits, relationships, everything. We are basically set up to fail. The only sure-fire way to get out of the exhaustion is to spend $1,000,000 on medical tests from someone other than your general practitioner, like a functional doctor, and then only buy organic food, drinks, makeup products, hair care products, etc. which will also cost your kidneys and your first born child to afford. Anyways, some of the things in this book were helpful, but a lot of it just called me poor 💔

Good refresher, but nothing new

Сигурно знаете, че в живота си повечето читатели рядко се натъкват на книги, толкова полезни и всеобхватни, че да могат да бъдат препоръчвани на всичките роднини, приятели, познати и непознати наред. Случаят тук е точно такъв – не мисля, че има как да сгрешите, ако решите да ѝ дадете шанс или да я подарите на човек, за когото ви е грижа. Няма нито нещо лошо, нито нещо срамно в това да обичаме себе си, да се грижим за тялото си и да се стремим към по-добро здравословно и духовно съществуване.

This is a well-written, highly readable and structured look at the factors that cause exhaustion in our busy lives. I've been struggling with exhaustion for a while, working with functional medicine doctors and various tests, but this book hit home the different areas that need to be addressed. It helped me to pinpoint what went wrong, where I need to focus my efforts, and what I need to do to recover. Because "Exhausted" takes you through each major area section by section, it's easy to see the bigger picture of your own life. Simple things that my doctors missed, became obvious in reading the book: Lack of proper sleep, for one. If you're exhausted, it's an easy read and won't tax you too much, but will help you.

Kui keegi tahab alternatiivmeditsiini propagandat ja kulutada hunnikus raha ja energiat "funktsionaalmeditsiinile", siis lasku aga käia, lugegu seda raamatut. Mõned üldtõed selles teoses on väga toredad ja toetavad, nagu oma kurnatuse põhjuste leidmine, puhkuse ja energiataseme taastamise tähtsustamine, nagu ka mõned viisid seda teha - regulaarne mediteerimine, kvaliteetne uni, vaimse stressiga toimetulek, endale andestamine, ekraaniaja vähendamine. Teised lähevad aga kas vastuollu üldtunnustatud praktikatega (nt soobitus minna voodisse 20.30 ja maga 8 h und täis on uneekspertide jutuga täiesti vastuolus), või on väga küsitavad (peamiselt mõtlen erinevaid toidulisandeid ja kummalisi vere- ja uriiniteste). Mulle ei meeldinud ka erinevate dieetide, nagu paleo- ja gluteenivaba dieedi promomine raamatus, samuti paastumise ja detoxi propageerimine.

Peatse arstina soovitan tõesti lugeda vaid omal vastutusel ja kriitikameelt säilitades. Ma ei ütle, et tõenduspõhine meditsiin on kõikvõimas ja kurnatuse probleemi on selles tihtipeale keeruline käsitleda, ent funktsionaalse meditsiini "arstile" minek võib kokkuvõttes osutuda väga kulusaks ja ebatõhusaks otsuseks.

Raamat ei too välja midagi uut, lihtsalt tuletab meelde seda, kuidas teatud aspektides võiks oma tegemisi sättida. Palju rõhku on pandud alternatiivsematele suundadele, mis võib mõne inimese puhul töötada väga hästi või olla üks komponent kurnatuse vähendamisel.
Siiski suurem probleem on tõlkimisega. Kohati tundub, et tõlgitud on otsetõlkes ja kasutatud Google translate abi. Näiteks laused dieet ei ole jätkusuutlik ja hea viis, kuid järgmises lauses dieet kui toitumine. Tõsi ta on, et inglise keeles ongi diet eelkõige toitumisena mõeldud, kuid lugedes oli kohati väga suur segadus ning tuleb toetuda oma inglise keele teadmistele. Samuti lugedes peatüki toksilisus tekksi huvi, kuidas lahendada toksiliste suhete probleemi seoses kurnatusega, kuid peatükk rääkis hoopis toksiinidest.
Üldiselt oli väga vaevaline lugemine just pideva mõtlemise tõttu, et mida siis sellega tahetud öelda on. Samas mõned asjad tuletasid jällegi meelde, kus valdkonnas võiks korrektuure teha.

I really liked this book. At first i got sleepy about the eating the right foods and even explaining it scientifically. I was going to quit but I’m glad i read through it all. One big thing for me was how everyone is different and the solutions won’t be the same. I did hope for a one solution cure though. It is indeed a journey you have to find the right path for yourself. I enjoyed the many real example stories that came with the chapters, and some funny bits in there that made me want to keep hiking through this book. It does also talk about spirituality towards the end.

[Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book describes reasons for exhaustion as an energy imbalance, and proposes reason and steps to renew it. Not a lot of new info you don’t already know - a lot of known common sense advice like eat your veggies for better gut health and get better sleep.

[Veerle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Goed geschreven en goed ingedeeld. Blijft soms wat aan de oppervlakte, maar begrijpelijk gezien elke persoon uniek is. Was fijn om te lezen en kan goed startpunt zijn tot herstel. Dat gezegd zijnde, niet heel veel nieuws bijgeleerd.

[Crystal · Rating 2 out of 5]

The authors seemed to struggle with sharing the information in a concise and clear manner. So it was difficult to retain seemingly important details. Instead, this read like a stream of consciousness and, in many parts, was rudimentary and a bit problematic.

Insightful and easy to read. Useful recommendations for fighting against exhaustion.

An interesting read...
I didn't agree with everything the book had to say...
But I did learn some new things....
Always a good thing in this quest to be the best version of myself that I can be.

Clickbait title. Maybe I have read too many self help books but there’s nothing new here. And a tap water hater- where are you supposed to get those healthy minerals?

Lots of good advice. Laid out very well. Overall I enjoyed the book.

Some really good information presented, some of which has been covered in other books written by him, but a nice review. I found it very interesting.

There was some interesting science in this book, and I will say that I've started to incorporate some of the more practical solutions into my daily life and I feel that my body is beginning to heal.

Kõigile, kes tunnevad tihti väsimust. Sealt saab päris häid nippe, kuidas leida väsimuse põhjuseid ning kuidas neid põhjuseid maandada või kaotada.
