In a culture where dysfunctional eating is practically the norm, Susan Albers aims to stop the madness. It is not enough to change how much or what we eat--we must change how we think about eating. In workbook format, Albers takes the reader through several different exercises (using cognitive behavior techniques and Buddhist meditation methods) designed to pinpoint the source of problems and then adjust the behavior to create a wholesome relationship with food. Though the main thrust of this book is not to suggest a diet (Albers recognizes the danger of fad diets), she does make suggestions for safe weight loss. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
