Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve: Self-Help Exercises for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Autism by Stanley Rosenberg

2.0

The first thing I will say is that the author is not a doctor. He mentions this, but I think it's important to keep in mind. I picked this up because my doctor diagnosed me with high cortisol due to chronic stress, and told me I needed to activate my 'rest & digest' mechanism. This book has some helpful exercises at the end, but the rest of it was pretty dry and didn't give me much information. I did skip the autism section due to other reader's notes on that chapter. I recommend reading a short medical article on the vagus nerve and then the exercise portion, but the first half of the book was not worth reading.
