A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever

Excellent book! We all can diet, and we also know diets don't work long term. This course which will requre YOU to do the work and change your subconscious to make a change,to root out fear and embrace love. As Marianne said " .This course is not about our relationship with food, its about our relationship with love. For love is a true healer.And Miracles occur naturally in the presence of Love."

I am really enjoying this Course as part of my spiritual journey and my quest to allow my body freedom forever from compulsive dieting and overeating. I have, it seems, been on a lifelong journey to "get skinny," and though I gave up diets years ago, I still struggle with fear-based overeating. In my heart I always knew that my extra pounds around my mid-section were due to a spiritual dis-ease, rather than anything I was or wasn't doing in the physical world (I am a very active dancer and teacher who carries about 20 lbs. of extra fluff around the middle). I have found much comfort and catharsis in Ms. Williamson's prayers and journaling lessons. She is helping me face the fear of other people and of life that underlies my use of food as a pacifier. In my opinion, one does not have to be Christian to enjoy this program; however, one does have to be open to the concept of surrender to Spirit, much as in a 12-step program, which is what I am finding particularly inspiring and so different from other weight-loss efforts I've made. Overall, this audiobook has very much inspired and comforted me in my ever-deepening spiritual quest to live free from fear and in Love.

I am a health coach and I have connected a lot of dots with this work. About to read for the 3rd time. My body is changing in just few weeks.

Marianne Williamson has given us a great gift in the form of a beautiful weight loss transformation that heals the ROOT of the problem in a warm humorous healing way. The weight is dropping off me effortlessly as I realize that the body problem is a product of my own erroneous belief system. This is a sacred healing text and I AM so grateful for it!

I thought the book had some helpful ideas, but would be better used in printed format. The worksheet pages are repetitive being read out loud, and would be hard to follow unless you quickly write them as she speaks them.

My main complaint was that the author reads this SO fast. I found that the speed, and her dramatic inflections, distracting and at times unpleasant.

Its another book that came along a the perfect time in my life. I have always battled with my weight. I have been really seeking spiritual change and growth in my life and learned that everything is spiritually connected. Sh breaks it down and gives you examples I really understood and it has helped me tremendously. I could apply this principle to other areas in my life.

the voice and soul of Marianne Williamson

the interpretation of the problem, the new vision totally different about the problem that a lot of people suffer in silence. It's a new beginning!

I have a really extreme reaction, make feel in peace and to feel a new inpowerment of my self.

If you are tired of trying losing weight, and tired of readings book that promise you the definitive result, try this one! it a new vision, a new beginning that bring you peace and love to yourself.

I have loved Marianne since she wrote her first book and uttered her first spiritual word.......I love everything she has written, but not so much this book.....while I love her style of reading, it's a big draw for me to her audio books, I found this book quite boring, both for content---seemed to be more for people who need to loose a LOT of weight and who have no clue about anything to do with weight loss---and for her reading style of this material---I just didn't like the reading of this book.......sorry Marianne, I still love you, but looking for more of your real spirituality books.....

Yes. Easy to learn and immediately applicable. Makes a difference.

A Return to Love. It works with same principles

Her delivery and voice are impeccable.

That our thoughts coupled with unexpressed/unresolved emotions is what stores fat in our bodies.

Discovery, understanding, life changing

The most memorable moment during the book was when I was finally able to make a connection between my cravings for certain foods and my emotional state. I discovered what I had been lacking emotionally and how this was a factor in my overeating.

I have not listened to any Marianne Williamson's performances before this one.
