It had eyes – and I ran.” – Dorothy Macardle, “The Uninvited”Īh, Halloween…is there any better time to read a Gothic ghost story by the glow of firelight?

In an ideal world, this would make you healthier. Yes it repeats a lot - but when you're unwinding decades of dieting- repetition is good!! Really helped cement the practices - and helped me to understand how to apply day to day - practical. ![]() Having read all of Geneen Roth's books and Have your Cake and Skinny Jeans too - this book fills in some of the gaps. No extreme reactions - the book is mellow. Someone who really understands the depths of this and someone with empathy.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I felt like I was getting counseled directly by an expert. What does Pam Ward bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? I had all these little hidden restrictions (telling myself I wasn't dieting) - you have to truly let go of them for this to work. Once you X out restricting OF ANY KIND - the whole equation goes poof! For me the last frontier was letting go of restricting. ![]() Just understanding the equation of: restricting -> deprivation -> grasping -> guilt ->restricting. ![]() What was one of the most memorable moments of Intuitive Eating? I bought both audio/kindle- the book offers the tables/reference materials and the audio is just easier for me to consume in total.

It was a close read of a mighty meaty book. I took a course in the book (alas only 7 sessions, but we went over time - well past 90 minutes - a number of times) with the marvelously inspiring enchanting Maria Frawley online at Politics and Prose I participated in a group reading and discussion of it with at least 20 people on the TWWRN face-book group, where each three days someone wrote about three chapters, often in detail, with summaries, evaluations, questions, pictures attached.

An uncommonly well-written sports memoir. Open is a superb memoir, but it hardly closes the books on an extraordinary life." - The Wall Street Journal "Honest in a way that such books seldom are. For Agassi helping others has instead become his life's calling. Countless athletes start charitable foundations, but frequently the organizations are just tax shelters or PR stunts. career-comeback tale is inspiring but even more so is another Open storyline. Open describes Agassi's personal odyssey with brio and unvarnished candor. Agassi's memoir is just as entrancing as his tennis game." - Time "Fascinating. An unvarnished, at times inspiring story in an arresting, muscular style. Check-it's one of the better memoirs out there, period.

It is apparent from the beginning that he has disabilities: he is nonverbal, has a difficult time interacting with other people, appears to face physical and intellectual challenges, and struggles with chronic asthma. ![]() The lowest of the low points for me is the manner in which the character Arthur, age 6 or 7 perhaps, is presented. O'Brien's original creations than the second book, new characters that are completely cringeworthy, child abuse and bullying presented in an uncritical manner, and a weird/stupid ending. R-T, Margaret, and the Rats of NIMH is almost unbelievably awful: a boring plot, massive plot holes, uneven pacing, characters that stray even farther from Robert C.
