I highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with "head hunger" ..it truly is in your head..your brain chemistry to be exact!  I suspect the vast majority of us are food addicts..this is a book that has such strong revelations that it feels at times someone ha**** you in the head with a shovel!  My new surgeon apparently asks his patients to read this book.. so I thought I'd get brownie points reading it ahead of my 1st consult...thought it would be another " self help book"...this is light years ahead for me...I'm only halfway thru..and I'm planning on getting several copies and giving them as gifts to family and friends..it's a must read.  Be prepared to go deep into yourself, your past and challenge your thinking.

He's a very interesting guy.  I've listened to him at a mental health and addictions seminar and he was very well-received.

Your Welcome! I can't say "enjoy" because it is very intense! I could only read maybe a chapter at a time..needed to put it down and just process....
