"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."
Book Description
Snacks. Sex. Shopping. Smoking. Whether we realize it or not, all of us have strategies for self-medicating ourselves when we feel threatened or overwhelmed by tension or tiredness. But why do people respond to pressure in such different ways? And what really helps most to reduce tension and increase energy, a brisk ten-minute walk, twenty minutes of meditation, or two hours of watching TV?
In this fascinating new book, Robert E. Thayer serves as an expert guide through the latest scientific research into moods and mood management, revealing which behaviours energize and empower us, and which sabotage our best interests. (Just five or ten minutes of walking, for example, can enhance mood for an hour or more, while sugar snacking, Thayer shows, causes more tension than it reduces.) Far from a shallow quick fix book, Everyday Moods: Energy and Tension brings readers to a
new understanding of the underlying biology of their daily cycles of energy and tension, and offers powerful recommendations for breaking self-destructive habits and leading a richer, more enjoyable life.

Everyday moods are so ephemeral and illusive that it seems impossible to know where they come from, why they occur, and, perhaps more important, what we can do about them. Read the first page
