Frontal Fatigue is a revelation of growing mental illnesses within modern society, written by Dr. Mark Rego. As the world develops and moves a step forward, our mental health seems to be taking two steps back each time. Mental health issues are on the rise and are increasingly more obvious and worrisome, yet the majority lack acknowledgment and the acceptance of our human response to stressors. With growing technology that is meant to ease our lives, there is a connection between increasing mental illnesses and stress. Frontal Fatigue dives deep into mental illnesses and technology, as well as methods for prefrontal cortex fatigue management to live a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
Frontal Fatigue by Dr. Mark Rego presents eye-opening findings of overstimulation from technology and its effects on the prefrontal cortex. Dr. Mark Rego takes the hypothesis of prefrontal cortex fatigue back to the Middle Ages. The human body has adapted to physical-centric tasks for centuries, but Rego brings it to modern times where every decision relies on our mental capabilities. Written in simple yet sophisticated language, Frontal Fatigue provides a deeper perception of how our society lacks understanding, awareness, and acceptance of the most common mental health problems today. This book also provides recommendations and solutions to our mental dilemmas and how to counteract prefrontal cortex fatigue. Frontal Fatigue is an interesting and captivating study that relates to the majority of the population in today’s world. I truly loved this book! It intrigued me to the core. I would definitely recommend this book for those interested to see how modern technology may not be as black and white as we think.
