I picked this one up with the intent to briefly amuse myself by the ramblings of a charlatan. The book was pretty much what I expected it to be.

For anyone interested in the advice given, Hinkle makes these concrete recommendations as a surefire cure for a persons nervous breakdown, whether a person is already suffering from such an attack of nerves or simply as a preventative:

1. Do not eat too much. Eat sparingly.
2. Chew all your food "to a cream".
3. Do not eat eggs.
4. Do not eat boiled cabbage.
5. If you are having a nervous breakdown, do not strain yourself with physical exercise.
6. All people should spend three hours outside per day.

This is all my memory serves to me, but I do think this is all the author served as well.

Hard to read, felt like reading a book written 100 years ago.

Always on the lookout for Fletcherizing support! I’m glad I found this and appreciate the perspective it provides of those suffering from nerves at the time of writing.

I discovered a community providing the information Ebooks version. How To eat was here too! http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/p... Able to read this book again on my mobile phone, of course on PC. People concern what food is good for health. However, this book let me know how many people are suffering from eating disorder caused by damage of "nerves". It's tragic...

Unfortunately as time and our knowledge of proper diet improves, poor Mr. Hinkle's book is slowly being proven wrong. Not to mention it is an extremely difficult read due to the fact the author seems to think he is a new testament prophet.

A cultural oddity, and maybe mildly interesting to some, but not to me.
