This book is dedicated to the loving memory of my mother, who taught me the most important lesson in lifelove heals, starting with loving yourself.

This book began with a casual conversation with our agent, Ling Lucas, about the epidemic of adrenal burnout. Ling refused to let the idea go and deserves our first thanks, because without her inspiration this book would not have been written. Her driving force, encouragement, and guidance carried us through from the conceptual phase through the writing and editorial process.

We are most grateful to Phyllis Grann and Susan Petersen Kennedy at Putnam for their enthusiasm and support for this subject. Amy Hertz, our editor at Putnam, was a pleasure to work with. Her professionalism and expertise made this a more accessible and useful book. Amy's assistant, Rebecca Thomas, organized loose ends and kept us coordinated. Thanks also to copyeditors Martha Ramsey and Timothy Meyer, who did a wonderful job.

Early on in the writing, Dr. John A. Davis volunteered to read and edit our drafts, a task that stretched over many months. His careful reading, insightful comments, and suggestions helped shape many of the chapters.

Those who shared their real-life stories of adrenal burnout are the essence of this book, which would not have been nearly as readable and insightful without their contributions.

A task like this cannot be accomplished without a significant research support system. Ours included De'in Sofley, who painstakingly researched medical journals, transcribed hundreds of hours of tapes, and cheerfully took care of endless details. Others who brought order and organization to the process were David Stanley, Rene Perez, Courtney Sampson, Martha Dominguez-Smith, and Jennifer Thompson.

The scientists, doctors, health care professionals, and fitness authorities who lent their expertise to the research and writing of this book put the meat on the bones of many of the subjects: Aristo Wojdani, Ph.D., director of the Immunosciences Laboratory; David Steinman, nationally recognized authority on environmental toxins; Don Campbell, author and lecturer on the Mozart Effect; Erich Schiffmann, author, lecturer, and yoga master; Glenn Miller, M.D., physician, psychiatrist, and pharmacist; Josette Troxler, M.P.T., yoga therapist; Mary Enig, Ph.D., author and internationally recognized biochemist in the field of fats and oils and authority on transfatty acids; Dr. Peter Kulish, author and senior research scientist of the Magnetizer Biomagnetic Research Institute; Robert Becker, M.D., author and internationally recognized authority on electropollution; Robin Marzi, R.D., nutritional authority and William Philpott, M.D., author, neurologist, psychiatrist, and allergist.

We also thank Lyra Heller for championing the formulation of quality products for the treatment of adrenal burnout.

Over the past twenty years a number of doctors and scientists have helped shape Dr. Hanley's expertise; among them are Murray Susser, M.D., Hyla Cass, M.D., Cynthia Watson, M.D., Alan Green, M.D., Melvyn Werbach, M.D., Michael Rosenbaum, M.D., Jim Blechman, M.D., Janet Zand, N.D., Marcus Laux, N.D., and Michael Borkin, N.D. In addition, Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., whose life's work has been dedicated to integrating nutritional/genetic biochemistry into the field of functional medicine, and Tom Newmark, president of New Chapter Vitamins, who introduced Dr. Hanley to holy basil. Profound gratitude from Dr. Hanley to her sister Pamela Serure, whose unending support, patience, and humor helped make this creative process a breeze.

Heartfelt gratitude from Nancy Deville to Stella Grabowski, Evelyn Jacob Jaffe, Grace Gabe, M.D., Cathy Quinn, Ph.D., and Susan Jenks Dudley Wigglesworth.

Our search for that touchstone of modern life SUCCESS often drives us to the brink of our endurance and diminishes our enjoyment of both good health and peace of mind. Why is this true? By the time most of us achieve success at the level we seek, we are involved in a life and death struggle with that powerful demon: stress. Stress is the enemy. Dr Jesse Hanley and Nancy Deville in Tired of Being Tired explain how you can defend yourself against its effects.

This is a book for men and women who thrive in a fast-paced world driven by the need for personal achievement and success. It explains why an overload on the adrenal glands, caused by the stress created while you generate success, diminishes your level of health and reduces your chance of sustained mastery over your world.
