The Fatigue Prescription, by Dr. Linda Clever
(PRWEB) August 18, 2013
In the style of many self-help books, Linda Hawes Clever, MD, is a product of and a subscriber to the program of renewal that she presents in her book. In the span of eighteen months, the physician endured the death of her parents, a home burglary, the loss of two jobs, and her husband’s cancer diagnosis. In the process of dealing with the impact of these traumatic events, Clever reached out to others who were interested in revamping their own lifestyles and ended up founding RENEW, a not-for-profit that “aims to help busy, devoted people sustain or regain enthusiasm, effectiveness, meaning and, yes, joy.” The Fatigue Prescription: Four Steps to Renewing Your Energy, Health, and Life brings together Clever's experience from her ten years of heading up the company and laying out a four pronged plan to recapture energy and motivation. Whether stress and fatigue stem from life-altering events or just daily life itself, Clever’s thorough, warm-hearted guide is intended to give readers the tools to ditch their ruts and find their groove.
For the 4th consecutive year, a copy of The Fatigue Prescription will be given to each
new Kaiser Permanente physician as part of their fall orientation, which Dr. Clever will be speaking at on November 4th at the Kaiser Permanente Diablo Service Area New Physicians School.
For the 3rd year, a copy of The Fatigue Prescription will be given to each non-profit Executive Director participating in the Center for Excellence in Nonprofit's Leadership Institute on September 19th and 20th, at which Dr. Clever will also be speaking.
