Product Description
The 150 Most Effective Ways to Boost Your Energy shows anyone how to get more energy out of their body—naturally. Nationally known health expert Jonny Bowden presents small changes anyone can implement up front for big energy—such as what to eat for all-day endurance, when to time a workout for the biggest brain boost, or how working with (or against) natural light cycles can make your sleep restorative or slump-inducing. Energy starts with attitude—readers will learn how to “think” like a high-energy person and use breathing techniques, meditation, and exercise to bust stress, beat fatigue, and boost stamina. Readers learn how physical factors such as toxins, eating patterns, and nutritional deficiencies can sabotage strength—and how they can be corrected with proper diet and supplements. The 150 Most Effective Ways to Boost Your Energy gives readers a complete program to go from exhausted to energized.

This book had some very simple and easy tips for boosting energy. Some ideas were simply reminders of things we should all know but probably don't do but nonetheless it was good to be reminded. I particularly liked the section on the different natural supplements and their different effecs.

This book contain many useful tips on how to boost your energy level. It covers many areas of your life that may affect your energy level like
- what to eat and drink
- how to get quality sleep
- how to exercise
- taking supplements
- detox
- controlling your emotions and stress level
Although I have tried many ways to combat fatigue in the past, this book provides other means to do so.
Sometimes when I am tired, I just open one page and apply the tip in that page for the day. I will highlight those tips that works for me. This is how I am going to try all 150 tips.
To me, the energy level determines one's success or failure.

Doctor Jonny gives sage advise, and a myriad of Jonny fans write puff pieces to his eternal wisdom and energetic good looks.
The advise Jonny gives is wildly contradicting in spots. (Why do none of the other reviewers pick this up?!) He pumps out advice on nutritional supplementation as quickly as a late night exercise program pumps out energetic promises. The advice may be good in places but this type of "150 ways to boost energy" is geared for an author to overstep science and understep where caution for certain individuals are concerned.
True, this is true for many other authors too, but there is little reason (besides money) for Jonny Bowden to write such a book at this point. It makes his earlier works suspect. Or so it seems to me.
Should the book be given two stars for the bits of advice which are good and well written? I think that most people will read this and glaze over reading how THIS nutritional supplement will do x for you.... and how "some new research suggests" that this other nutritional supplement will do the same thing... and how "there is more evidence" that XYZ will do these things... and (times 150).
Most simply won't have the background to know what is a good approach to take.
Books like this make a lot of money, and get people in trouble as they experiment. People then go to their doctors with "ringing in their ears," with irritable bowel and worse, with headaches that won't stop... and these self-experimenters admit to trying this new regimen of high dosage mega-cure-all pills and potions. But with that warning, see a well schooled MD with lots of dietary background (most have virtually none, and dieticians are more political action groups touting pseudo-science than you would care to believe, go and get solid advice from a good medical doctor who understands nutrition, and there are some things that can help with energy, especially for Baby Boomers who are fueling this craze.

I enjoyed the author's other books, but this one disappoints. What is mostly lacking is a critical eye to what's included--you get the sense that in order to reach his 150 item quota, the author's included a lot of dubious treatments and approaches without researching them very carefully (e.g., weight lifting supplements that have been shown to have serious side effectss (even the guys on "t-nation" stopped taking them), hormone replacement for men, the "subluxation" concept that used to be prevalent in chiropractic medicine, but has been abandoned by most ethical chiropracters).
And while the breezy writing style is still sometimes fun, there's a bit too much name dropping (and promotion of friends' businesses). Overall, what comes through is a rushed effort to crank out another best-seller.
