Viva Editions are books that inform, enlighten, and entertain. The very name, "Viva!", is celebratory. And while Viva Editions is a line of books that are as fun as they are informational, the intention behind Viva is very serious—these are books that are truly helpful and intended to enhance people's lives.

Are you tired of being tired? me, too!



LINDA HAWES CLEVER, MD

You’re probably a very busy person — one who may feel over-whelmed and stressed and bent out of shape because of your demanding lifestyle. For many Americans, it seems our daily cyclic movements have us dragging our feet from Point A to Point B, and often times we never even make it to that seemingly distant Point C. We’re a brutally busy lot. Soon enough, we find ourselves beaten down physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Well, as good news has it, there is a manageable prescription for our cyclic fatigues. The only problem is that many of us are so busy we may (as per our usual routine) still unwisely choose to close our ears to its wisdom. The recommendation I’m referring to is Dr. Linda Hawes Clever’s new book The Fatigue Prescription: Four Steps to Renewing Your Energy, Health and Life. Rather than inundate the reader with over-the-top intellectual jargon or patronizing, lecture-style ramblings, Dr. Clever pleasantly guides you through four basic steps to renewing your daily life: (1) Awareness (2) Reflection (3) Conversation and (4) Plan-and-Act. It’s an easy and highly worthwhile read. It’s more than self-help — it’s self-health! Dr. Clever is merely the moderator. You are the one who will empower your life and change it for the better, a more healthy and relaxed better.

And if time is available, come and check out Dr. Linda Hawes Clever on her Bay Area book tour promoting The Fatigue Prescription. Let’s break those daily cyclic movements that breed apathy and dreary living. It’s in our best interest to do so.
