The Emotional Energy Factor: The Secrets High-Energy People Use to Beat Emotional Fatigue

My first review ever written and I have read more books than I could ever list here. I had to write this review because in the deepest part of my being I know that I have been changed as a result of reading this book. Ms. Kirshenbaum has a unique gift and she has given it to us in the pages of this book. I am blessed to have been led to this book and in opening it I found detailed examples and the tools needed to change my life. I not only received much needed validation, but I also was set free from fatigue. I will NOT lend this book out and my family and friends agree that this is a must have book! If you need to connect the dot like I did, let Mira's wisdom, years of experience and knowledge guide you to the calmness and assurance that we all deserve and need to live an energetic life. Thanks Mira, I can't wait to start your next book! Love, Linda Scull RN

I am not kidding - this book is remarkable. For a variety of circumstances, both physical and emotional, I have been so tired for the last few years that I had come to accept the fatigue as just the way my life is and that I would just have to move on and deal with it. Thanks to Ms. Kirshenbaum's well-written and easily understandable book, I can toss that "acceptance" out the window. The first night I opened this book I read just the first few chapters. The lightbulbs going off in my brain by the end of these pages were like marquees on Broadway! I felt like slapping myself and saying "Duh!" but I was too amazed to do anything but think about ways to apply what I was learning. I am not a person who journals because it is just too hard for me to put things down on paper. When I closed the book the first night, so many things were firing off in my head that I wrote six pages about what I do, why I do it, and what I am going to change - all spurred by this book. I only allowed myself to read two chapters a day so I could absorb all of the information thoroughly. I have given it to two people already and intend to grab it up every time that I find the old fatigue sneaking up on me. Easy to understand, easy to implement and life changing - even if you have a chronic physical illness that leaves you with fatigue, this book can help with the inevitable emotional baggage that goes along. I have to remind myself often of the changes I have made, but what a difference this book has made for me!

I must say that The Emotional Energy Factor was a very uplifting and very easy to read book. Its not about getting to the top of the business world or how much money you can make. It's about yourself and your emotional energy. It covers 25 secrets of unlocking your emotional energy and everything is covered from being a worry wart to how to handle a death of someone very close. You will learn to diagnose your own emotional energy. Learn the power of active prayer which is instead of asking God to give you things have a one on one conversation with him. Turn pressure into emotional energy,and live your life your way. Accomplish more,struggle less,feel more energetic,and find the energy and zest to live your life to the fullest. get the emotional energy to become a new you.

I have never written a review of a book for this or any other site. However, I am doing so now because it's about the best self-help book I've ever read. In fact, it's one of the few I've ever read cover-to-cover. This morning I consulted it again after something particularly upsetting happened, and I got instant help. It really is an ongoing resource, as the author says she intended it to be.Why did I find it so helpful? Because of chapters like, "The Hell with Other People's Expectations" and "Special Issues" such as "First Aid When Your Emotional Energy Crashes" and "Night Thoughts," which explains why I lie in bed at night worrying and what I can do about it. (I tried her suggestions, and they work.) Her chapter explaining what worry really is (it is not the fear of something bad happening. "It's about not knowing what is going to happen.") really rang true. I can't thank the author Mira Kirschenbaum enough for writing this. I don't know her from Adam, and I have no financial incentive for recommending this wonderful book, but I have an overwhelming desire to get it into the hands of anyone who is bogged down by life and needs a major lift. The word "empowering" is badly overused, but, in this case at least, it sure fits.

I've never written a review before, and I'm no expert in psychology, but I was so blown away by this sensational book that I just want to tell anyone out there who's undecided that it's totally worth your time and money. I read the whole thing in 2 days, which I never do, and am going to be buying copies for several of my loved ones who I know will get as much out of it as I have. I've learned so much so quickly from reading this book--how to heal the emotional exhaustion that comes from the ruthless demands I've always put on myself and those that go along with my high-profile job. This book is full of practical, real world insight without any cheesy psycho-babble. Mira Kirshenbaum writes with wisdom and compassion. You get the sense of someone just talking to you over coffee--someone nonjudgmental, with sensitivity and a broad perspective. If you're worn out by these crazy times we live in and the frenetic pace of our world, do yourself an act of kindness and read this book. To the author: thanks a million, Mira! You've got a wonderful gift and I hope you write many more.
