Wonderful!

After struggling with food issues for years, I finally couldn't take it anymore. I was looking for a book that could help me get to the root of my problems, and this was it! "Healing the Hungry Self" helped me identify my problems and learn to deal with them without turning to food. I'm really a completely changed person after reading this book--it was exactly the help I needed when I was really ready to make some changes in my life. I'd recommend it highly to anyone who is sick and tired of fighting with themselves over food and is really motivated to make a change in their life.

Very well written and helpful book

This book helped me a lot. There is some self assesment tests and I scored in the critical area- my bad habits with overeating have changed my life for the worse and this book helped me look inside and heal whats wrong. If you want to stop abusing your body, and you dont know how to stop, this workbook will be a lifesaver.

The most valuable book I've read on weight issues.

I found this book to be as insightful as it is practical.Going beyond the surface issues of weight loss,this book offers a process of steps which stimulate a new way of thinking and asks questions which are probing and to the point. This is the kind of book I refer to again and again. A small group of friends and I use this book as the basis for our weekly discussions and assignments, and it has provided the well-rounded and holistic approach we were looking for. We are at long last making great strides to resoving the issues which caused the problem in the first place. I recommend it highly!

A Great Workbook

"Healing the Hungry Self" is a great workbook because it asks tough questions while giving valuable information. If followed as the author intended, there is a reading "assignment" and writing "assignment" each day for six weeks. The advice is practical without being too preachy. I got a lot out of this book. I reccomend it for anyone with a food problem.
