Evelyn’s comments from the Unity in Words group.

Headaches are one of the most common health problems worldwide, yet one of the least understood. They affect people across every age, background, and lifestyle, quietly shaping our work, our families, and our wellbeing. That is why I would love to suggest Headaches: Why You Have Them, What You Can Do About Them by Dr. Egilius L.H. Spierings as a book club selection.

Dr. Spierings is not only one of the foremost authorities on headache and face pain but also a gifted communicator. With decades of experience as a neurologist, pharmacologist, and clinical trialist, including faculty appointments at Tufts University and Harvard Medical School, he has dedicated his life to understanding and treating headaches. What makes this book extraordinary, however, is the way he translates that expertise into clear, accessible language that every reader can understand.

This book doesn’t just define headaches; it demystifies them. Readers will discover why headaches occur, the different types that exist, and the role of biology, stress, and lifestyle in triggering them. Even more importantly, Dr. Spierings offers practical solutions and proven strategies that readers can apply to their own lives.

For your book club, Headaches offers a rare blend of scientific authority and real-world relevance. Every member will either recognize their own struggles in these pages or think of a loved one who suffers. It will spark lively discussions about stress, resilience, medicine, and the ways we can take control of our health. Best of all, it leaves readers not only informed but empowered to make changes that improve their daily lives.

This is not just a health book, it is a practical, compassionate companion that your members will thank you for reading together.
