"Although it contains zero nutritional advice, this is best diet book I've ever read. Kabatznick uses the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path of Buddhism as a structure for examining our attitudes about eating. She not only cuts to the heart of why so many of us have unhealthy relationships with food, but the format of the book also works as an eye-opening meditation on the building blocks of Buddhism.
I suspect this is a book that will either totally ring true for you, or will bore you to tears. If your goal for a diet book is a definitive structure, with a list of good and bad foods, an approved exercise routine, and some motivational passages, look elsewhere. Instead, I would recommend it for anyone who has a passing understanding of Buddhism, and a genuine interest in getting to the root of his/her food issues."
"Lovely, well-written and engaging. I remain frustrated at the simple but never easy nature of the Buddhist perspective, and look forward to a time when my whole self manages to join my brain and get on board."
"I'm re-reading this after owning it for several years (and I don't think I liked or "got" it the first time I read it), and am finding it really helpful in addressing recovering from compulsive eating using Buddhist philosophy. I'm finding the approach of mindfulness and not attaching to desire very useful ways to examine a long and disordered relationship with food. I usually can't stomach (heh heh) self-help books, but I can tolerate this one."
