A well-intentioned book but a book I really struggled to get through. While the advice was soothing, it felt like something I had seen many times already in other places.
I was lucky enough to get an early preview of this book through an advanced reader copy. It's worth noting that if you're looking for a book that will quickly heal your issues with eating or give you a magical insight that will unlock things, that's not what this book is. However I think that is a GOOD thing. To many times books on this topic give quick fix solutions rather than getting to the route of the problem. I love that this book delves deeper in the way that therapy would to help you understand what's sitting underneath your behaviors. It does mean that to see improvement you'll have to put the work in, and it may feel like work, but in my perspective it's worthwhile.
A very helpful workbook to teach any reader easily how to develop a better relationship with food and enjoy eating while being mindful. This is a good addition to any self help library and for anyone that needs to improve upon their eating habits. The format is pleasurable to read and easy to follow suggestions were appreciated. Well done. The primary key to the practice is to slow down and the author teaches the reader how to slow down and appreciate preparation and eating in a new healthy way.
A nice book about concentrating on being mindful about your wellness while eating and learning to slow down.
This book was very interesting and helpful. I really liked the part about analyzing your triggers.
It is a nice book, like the bazillions before this one that I read on the topic. I agree with the fundamentals: the different type of body to nourish, being mindful while eating, trying to analyse the triggers that make us turn to food and so on. My only disappointment is that this book doesn't really say something new about the topic, but if it was the first book I read about the subject, I would find it interesting and clear.
È un libro carino, come i milioni che lo hanno preceduto sullo stesso argomento. Sono anche d'accordo con i fondamentali: i vari "corpi da nutrire", essere concentrati nel qui ed ora quando si mangia, cercare di analizzare quali sono le situazioni che ci fanno ripiegare sul cibo, etc.etc. L'unica cosa che mi ha un po' deluso é che non ci sia davvero niente di nuovo sull'argomento, ció non toglie che se fosse il primo libro che leggessi riguardo all'alimentazione consapevole, lo avrei trovato interessante e molto chiaro.
THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!
A ton of well thought out information packed into this book. I really loved the workbook aspect of it. Certainly useful in my life right now.
A really good and thoughtful book if you are receptive to it. I don't think it will appeal to all overeaters and those with food issues but it will strike a chord with some. It is gentle, contemplative and energising. You need to engage your brain and spirit to immerse yourself in the process. Everything is geared towards slowing down and getting to the nitty gritty of the problem.. Even if you don't embrace everything there should be something positive or an exercise or tool that appeals to you. A book that definitely enables the reader to feel better just for the reading of it.
