This book is remarkable not just in its ability to bring
together the complimentary insights of the Buddhism and modern
science, but also for it's ability to do so in a way that is
accessible to those who are neither scientists nor Buddhists.
Though the book specifically speaks to the issue of healthy weight
loss, it is much more than that: it is a broad-minded and
open-hearted encouragement to all of us (whether we struggle with
weight or not) to become aware of not just what we eat, but how we
eat.
Thich Nhat Hanh and Dr. Cheung look at our habits as a society
and gently encourage us to see how eating is not just a habit we
use to dampen our suffering, but also how eating can become an
extension of our suffering. By offering us insights and practices
-- both spiritual and practical -- these co-authors gently guide us
toward a healthier and more sustainable way of engaging with our
food.
The practices and life changes they propose will not just
benefit us as individuals, but also benefit us as a society, and as
co-inhabitants of this planet. Wise, comforting, understandable,
and DO-ABLE: this book is definitely worth owning whether you are
trying to lose weight or simply trying to live a healthier
lifestyle. The book contains many meditations offered by the
Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh which are each like precious jewels. The
"Apple Meditation" (Chapter 2) alone is worth the cost of the book.
Treat yourself.
