COMMENTS ABOUT CALM ENERGY

"Do you want to be healthy and happy? I do. So I read this book. It's based on science. But it's practical, and tells us why we eat too much and exercise too little and what we need to do."
--FRANK FARLEY, Ph.D., Former President, American Psychological Association

"Robert Thayer proves that we can manage our moods by simple lifestyle interventions–he scientifically vindicates the food-mood connection! I would like to recommend this book to all my colleagues and patients."
–Dr. RONALD HOFFMAN, author of Intelligent Medicine and President of the American College for Advancement in Medicine

"Thayer's profoundly valuable research on energy and tension, the two decisive factors in mood, provides a practical set of guides for functioning up near our best, and feeling like it."
–T GEORGE HARRIS, Founding Editor and Past Editor-in-Chief, Psychology Today and American Health; Past Editor-in-Chief, Harvard Business Review

"[Calm Energy] (and much of Thayer's research) could have a very important role to play in getting people to start thinking (and behaving!) in a different manner about how they should take care of themselves, both nutritionally and physically. The book is well written and presented in a very readable fashion, complete with references for the reader interested in more detailed information. I think this is an excellent addition to the literature."
–STEVEN PETRUZZELLO, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Kinesiology, Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Editor: Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology

"As always, Robert Thayer is at the forefront in the new science of mood, its consequences, and its regulation. His research can (and has) changed the way people live their lives."
–JAMES A. RUSSELL, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Univ. of British Columbia

"Thayer presents ...interesting but subtle connections in a way that makes it easy to draw practical conclusions about how to manage both stress and one's moods through proper eating and exercise."
–RANDY LARSEN, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Washington Univ. in St. Louis

"Dr. Thayer...offers convincing evidence that by becoming aware of our daily cycles of energy and tension we can manage our moods and control emotional eating. Calm Energy is based on sound scientific findings and has clear practical applications. I recommend it highly."
–EDWARD ABRAMSON, Ph.D., Author of Emotional Eating.
