During this time of year, well-meaning people always tell us we look tired. In need of a winter recharge, The Fatigue Prescription (Viva Editions, 2010) — promising to renew energy, health and life — by Linda Hawes Clever, M.D., caught our eye. “Many devoted, capable people with plenty of good things going on and lots to look forward to are felled by fatigue,” Clever notes in the book’s introduction. Fatigue often stems from juggling many responsibilities or from too much sorrow — Clever was inspired to come up with her prescription after a tough time in her own life; over the course of a year, her parents died, her home was burglarized, she lost two jobs and her husband was diagnosed with cancer. The book, with easy-to-use workbook aspects, such as questionnaires, helps pinpoint the sources of your fatigue and how to make a fresh start.
