I thought that this is very interesting how he starts out the book with all the science stuff....it honestly almost lost me....until I became interested reading about goals, setting them and achieving them. Then there was a very thorough section on empowerment. Yet even more I really wanted to read on. Looking back to the beginning of each chapter title I began to see the part about being saved and Jesus! I think I'll have to read this book definitely. Worry and anxiety is something I've suffered from my whole life and I'm also a Christian so I really appreciate this book!

Stress always has had negative connotations, given its adverse effects on body and mind. However, inculcating a different mindset to identify stressors as challenges to overcome might be a great idea. Thanks for the thoughtful review!

“Four Keys to the Natural Anabolic State” by William G. Alston is a book one needs to read with a very open mind. The first sentence in the official review was thought provoking but my first thought was this mindset is not humane. To feel pain and suffering caused by disasters could be good and peace, health and abundance could be bad is very difficult to understand. The concept of a natural anabolic state that optimizes the mind and body’s performance sounds wonderful, especially if it is a safe drug to take. I agree that worry causes stress and anxiety but I do not understand how this could be good for one’s body or mindset. Mild stress or anxiety could be ok if one is nervous before taking an important exam or giving a speech. Severe stress and anxiety could lead to a stroke so who wants to go that route. The sample did not cover the author’s thoughts about leftist politics so I will not comment on this part of the official review. I am amazed when I hear a far-right republican desire to eliminate Social Security and Medicare, but they do not send the checks back or refuse to use Medicare when they are 65+.While I am a centrist politically there are many leftist ideas that are good for society. I do not believe there should be such a huge income gap between the super-rich and the poor. I believe that unemployment compensation and welfare have a purpose and is good as long as it is not abused. If a draft is brought back to staff the military will the super-rich buy their way out of serving their country or get doctor notes stating that they have bone spurs that prevent them from serving? The rich have a lot more to lose if WWIII begins, but they want others to fight for them. The concept of eustress is very interesting and proves that some stress is good if it makes one take on an eye of the tiger approach. Fear stress is good if it triggers the fight or flight reflex.

What a wonderful review! Not only inviting readers to read it but giving a clear picture of where this book will lead to. I am indeed curious how this book will proceed. The way author has mentioned "worrying is not good but anxiety can be useful". That has tilted my head in a question mark. Looking forward to it:)

William G. Alston offers an interesting and perceptive assessment of Four Keys to the Natural Anabolic State, emphasizing the book's original take on stress, mental health, and personal development. It highlights the accessible stories and conversational tone, but it also raises concerns about possible alienation because of the author's strong political beliefs. The review effectively conveys the wide appeal and thought-provoking quality of the book.
