The high-achieving Type E woman-the woman who is trying to excel in multiple roles and be everything to everybody-is the victim of her own success. The more she shows she can do, the more others demand of her. And the cost to her physical and mental health can be enormous. By understanding the conflicts underlying Type E behavior, and by adopting Dr. Braiker's Type E stress management program, women can be successful without killing themselves by trying to do and have it all.

In addition to exposing the Everything-to-Everybody stress syndrome and examining its psychological causes, Dr. Harriet Braiker, who first identified Type E, shows how to tell if you are a Type E woman, gives strategies and exercises to build better stress resistance, and presents a 21-Day Mental Workout Training Program to help manage the barrage of demands that threaten to overwhelm Type E women.

The Type E Woman is the book for all women who strive to achieve in and outside of the workplace-for women of any age, in any position of life. It is for every woman trying to juggle multiple roles, as the majority of women today do.

Millions of women die each year needlessly and prematurely when a majority of them can be saved through knowledge of various deadly diseases. In spite of the world class healthcare system in the United States, about thirty-five million women suffer from serious digestive problems and about 120,000 die, about twelve million get hospitalized, and about one million women are disabled yearly in the United States. These digestive diseases are intestinal hernias (mostly inguinal), liver diseases including cirrhosis, constipation, diverticulosis, gallbladder diseases, gastritis, esophageal disorders, hemorrhoids, infectious diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. Killer diseases just don’t appear suddenly and cause pain, suffering, and eventual death, instead, they develop over time with specific symptoms. Learning to recognize the symptoms of killer diseases can either eliminate them or postpone their debilitating effects for several decades or more by taking remedial measures. Knowledge of various diseases is crucial to recognizing the associated symptoms, and it enables women to deal with the medical community in a manner which is advantageous and beneficial to women. Today women need to manage their own wellbeing through knowledge and meaningful remedial measures. Learning about various diseases, symptoms, and prevention will minimize their dependency on the medical community.

This is the first book to tell the reader what surgeons cannot tell their patients—what it is really like to undergo cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgeons acknowledge the difficulty of fully informing patients about the range of emotions and physical experiences that can occur days, months and even years after cosmetic surgery. This book offers a realistic picture of who seeks surgery and why, the impact of various operations on body image, social taboos and the reactions of spouses and others, the doctor-patient relationship, and the factors that determine whether a patient is likely to experience the outcome as good or bad. The book details the experiences of patients who have had cosmetic surgery, mostly with positive outcomes. It helps readers make informed decisions about whether to proceed with their own surgery.
