I would recommend this book. My suggestions is that you listen to the audio once over and then with pad and pen in hand you listen a second time. Make certain that you participate in all of the things the author asks you to think, write, and do. It is a process which I believe will get you there. I am not there yet, I also bought the audible version and I have listened 3 times. I really like this book.

Lacking Yang, the book shows a certain misunderstanding of the body-mind connection. Marianne seems to assume that the thoughts in our minds can control our overeating. That is Yin. The Yang comes into play when we realize the toxic food additives (refined sugars and carbohydrates) we eat affect our hormones, which directly cause what we feel as addictive "hunger".

The author was following A Course in Miracles and among other things, she realized she had lost unwanted weight. The Course in Miracles is a transformative spiritual journey which takes a year to complete. It is about transcending the ego and this world. The author in this book is trying to give readers a shortcut to weight loss using principles from The Course in Miracles, without you having to relinquish this world, but I don't know if it works that way. Maybe it will work for you. She wants you to look at yourself and food in a new light, and she does a good job at explaining that. Fortunately you can buy an inexpensive copy on Ebay and see for yourself.
There, I've said it already. Your body is not well because you feed it whatever junk your "id" (lower mind) tells you to eat. "More junk food please?" Yes, we all do it to ourselves. By now you've learned that sugar hurts your body, that you are aging faster because you're not eating healthy, etc. What you don't know is that your spirit is BROKEN and needs to heal. This book will speak to your mind but has very practical lessons to teach your spirit how to heal your mind. Once your spirit-mind connection is healed, you will be prepared to in heal the mind-body connection. This book is cheaper than a dietician or a psychiatrist or a custom weight management or exercise program. I haven't finished Chapter Two because I'm implementing the exercises and using them as described. I'm losing weight and I'm eating less and I'm feeling better. WHY? Because I'm healing my spirit and training my mind to heal my body. Get it? Then read this book.Read full review
