Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Author
I wrote this book to help women who are struggling with fatigue, moodiness, weight gain, and a lack of desire for intimacy --- what I call the Hurried Woman Syndrome. I've been a practicing Obstetrician/Gynecologist for more than 16 years, and never have I seen a more epidemic problem than this one. About every fourth patient I see in my practice is suffering from one or more of these complaints. In fact, about 50 million women are struggling with these problems right now. I wrote The Hurried Woman to serve as a guidebook to help women regain their lost energy, learn to effectively manage their weight --- forever, and rebuild their primary love relationship (both physical and mental) so they may begin to enjoy life more abundantly again. I hope you find new insights, humor, and a renewed sense of purpose for your life in the pages of this book.

A life saver!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hurried Woman Syndrome: Healing for the 50 Million Women Who Suffer (Hardcover)
I was sinking fast; caught up in my work, all the activities my kids dragged me to and from, and my husband's job called him away from home a lot. I had run out of energy, gained about 25 pounds, and lost my interest in passion --- I was dead inside! My husband and I started seeing a counselor, but we were getting nowhere. I went to my doctor for a check up and she gave me a copy of this book and it has literally changed my life! I didn't realize how sick I was making myself feel through all of the stress I was heaping on top of me. The Hurried Woman is really 4 books; A book on fatigue, one on weight control, a book to improve your relationships, and one for getting control of stress all in one. I already called and thanked my doctor. If your suffering like I was, use this book as a guide and feel good again!

A survival guide for women!,
By Teri Kelley (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hurried Woman Syndrome: Healing for the 50 Million Women Who Suffer (Hardcover)
This book was wonderful! It showed me how my stressful lifestyle was causing me to be too tired to have fun anymore. I couldn't keep my weight down and my husband and I were having problems in our marriage. I had let too many things get in the way, particularly what my 2 kids were involved in, and I felt I was trapped in a crazy nightmare. Dr. Bost pointed me in the right direction and I have now lost almost 30 lbs, feel better than ever, and my marriage is back on track. If you are struggling with these problems, this book will lead you home. Buy it, and find your joy again!

Must read,
By N. Jeff Alford (Beaumont, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hurried Woman Syndrome: Healing for the 50 Million Women Who Suffer (Hardcover)
In our world where there are "quick fixes" for everything, and these quick fixes are rarely lasting. This book addresses a very common problem and offers not-so-quick fixes that will last. It is easy to read, suggesting practical advice that is simple to understand. The book is a must for all women who feel "hurried." A great gift book.
