New Scientist

"While writers of "pop psychology" books are notorious for passing off their own unsubstantiated notions as scientific fact, Thayer is careful to avoid this trap. The book is readable and easily digestible by nonscientists, while for those who want to know more about the scientific background there is a comprehensive series of notes and full references."

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn the two things that affect EVERYONE's feelings..., 14 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Origin of Everyday Moods: Managing Energy, Tension and Stress (Hardcover)
Robert Thayer's book has enlightened me to the one area I have never understood, good and bad feelings. He explains how two things, Tension, and Energy, result in you're being upset, happy, content, crabby, and depressed. Read how you can change your moods by having an awareness of how high tension and low energy levels affect you. One of the best books I've every read that has changed my life for all time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read on a fascinating subject: moods, 20 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Origin of Everyday Moods: Managing Energy, Tension and Stress (Hardcover)
I just couldn`t stop reading once I got started. Thayer`s concept of how and why moods occur is not only easy to understand but also absolutely plausible. So much so that I've tried out a few things and found they work. It doesn`t mean that I go on 5-minute brisk walks every time I feel low, but since now I know (most of the times) where that feeling comes from it seems a lot less disturbing.
