'Bob Hockey has produced an outstanding book containing easily the best theoretical account of fatigue ever produced. This book (which also provides a fascinating historical account) is destined to become an 'instant classic'.' Michael W. Eysenck, Roehampton University 'This book is a perfect example of how psychological analysis can add value, depth, and an originality of perspective to a topic significant to us all. Eclectic, scholarly, but most of all accessible, Hockey's book guides us through the wide-ranging literature related to fatigue with an impressive grasp. He amply demonstrates the very best qualities of twentieth-century British psychology from which he comes.'

The book offers a reinterpretation of the nature of the experience of fatigue, starting with an analysis of its historical and social context. It proposes a new theory, based on the idea that such experience is a natural, adaptive feature of mental life.... A thorough and accessible, systematic treatment of fatigue.... the book will be of interest to those studying and seeking to understand psychological processes, especially fatigue. --Savannah Jones, SirReadaLot.org
