Synopsis

This book compiles research on mental fatigue from the previous century. The author first defines and differentiates between fatigue induced by physical exertion and mental work. The author then discusses the various symptoms of mental fatigue and suggests tools and methods to assess those symptoms. The author discusses the relationship between mental and physical fatigue and how mental fatigue can impact physical health. Mental fatigue was then a new area of scientific enquiry, and this book helped to organize the discussion around the subject and collated the research that had been carried out. The book concludes by discussing the potential impact of the research on mental health on school systems and teaching methods.
