I of course haven't read the book (and know nothing about the authors), but I have a contrary opinion just skimming the TOC. It seems like a rather comprehensive look at fatigue, their causes and treatments in various different settings. Looking at various normal/pathological fatigue could enhance the understanding of fatigue in both general and specific to ME/CFS. It also highlights why focusing on fatigue won't get us too far in ME/CFS. I wouldn't throw it away just because the authors are not up to date with ME/CFS.

Yea I too at least like the *idea* of a book integrating a bunch of research about fatigue (or better, whatever makes us feel bad when we have colds/the flu).

Does anyone have any other books or articles about this they’d recommend?

Ugh, this reminds me of my own field where people just call things 'scientific' to build their career (read: ego), while it should be about making practice better in the end.

Reminds me of BACME:

'We are definitely NICE compliant now. Very scientificated. Coz we say so. Got all the buzzwords down pat and everything.'​
