Story4.5 out of 5 stars 101
Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to "get over" our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them. Paradoxically, it's only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it.

Story5 out of 5 stars 6
Everyone knows how hard it can be to maintain a healthy diet. But what if some of the decisions we make about what to eat are beyond our control? Is it possible that food is addictive, like drugs or alcohol? And to what extent does the food industry know, or care, about these vulnerabilities? In Hooked, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Michael Moss sets out to answer these questions - and to find the true peril in our food.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 22
Until five years ago, Alexandra Heminsley was decidedly not a runner. Nor was she athletic in any sense of the word. She was an ordinary, curvy woman who was convinced that sports of any kind, especially running, were beyond her. But she's made running part of her life, and gets to reap the rewards: not just the obvious things, like a touch of weight loss, health and glowing skin, but self-belief, and immeasurable daily pleasure.

Publisher's Summary
Salad instead of steak? Working out? Skipping that second beer or glass of wine? Healthy habits are the worst.
If you’re someone who gets up every morning and can’t wait for your run, considers eating sweet potatoes a splurge, and sets aside 30 minutes before work to meditate - this book isn’t for you. If you’re someone who thinks about getting up to go for a run but goes back to sleep, regrets last night’s dinner of fast food, and can barely get to work on time - let alone meditate - then this book will help you find the motivation you’ve been looking for to live your healthiest life, even when you don’t want to.
With this funny, in-your-face guide, you won’t find advice on how to “enjoy” exercise, or tips for making broccoli and kale taste as good as donuts and ice cream. What you will find are solid skills to help you actually do the healthy things you know you should be doing. Using these skills - based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and neuroscience - you’ll learn to find the motivation you’re really craving to adopt healthy habits, even if they do suck. You’ll also discover how to accept self-criticism, develop self-compassion, and live a more meaningful life.
This book not only acknowledges that many healthy habits suck, it uses science to explain why we want the things we want (junk food), crave the things we crave (sugar), and dislike the things we dislike (exercise). At the end, you’ll feel validated in feeling like these things are the absolute worst. But you’ll also find the motivation to do them anyway.

A Self-Help Book That Really Helps
In this book Dr. Lee-Baggley gave many small steps that I could take which will actually improve my health. In the past I have read dozens of books that essentially suggest that "all" I have to do is instantly become a different person and all will be well. This book compassionately shows many tiny steps toward better health that I have already been able to incorporate into my life. I sleep a little better. I eat a little healthier. I exercise a little more. The best thing is that I have a plan that will allow me to keep adding tiny habits that will continue to add up towards a healthier me.

Feeeeelings and cow farts.
Nope.
I returned this book for a refund after the third reference to her plant based diet which combats global warming because cows emit more gas than cars.
The second, long,, drawn out chapter on feeeeeelings and letting them drive the bus - seriously, the bus analogy got very, very old - it was too much.
