review 1: In my opinion the book gives interesting insights about how and why the eating habits have changed in the past century; it definetely makes one aware of unhealthy eating behaviours brought about by stress, emotional needs, unfocused actions to react on the outside, rather than acting from the inside out. Surely everyone knows already of how healthier our grandparents ate,how much more physical work they did. But the book brings everything into a more logic perspective and helps one to become aware of how eating disorders (or even just overeating) could be reduced, by just becoming more connected with our own body and consciousness. The author is an expert on both the scientific and the spiritual part of eating, the most important life supporting function. I mostly apprecia... moreted how these two aspects are combined.
review 2: I read this book in conjunction with a Healthy living class I took this spring. There are some interesting insights into the dynamics of individual relationships with food and eating. There are some exercises and activities that accompany the book as well as a CD that the author reads to help with the exercises. I can't say that I totally agree with every aspect of what's presented - but there are definitely some things worth considering and I found parts of it helpful in altering my associations with food and eating. less

I can't believe I paid money to get good advice on mindful eating. I am a sucker.
