Reseñas de la Crítica

"The variety of the approaches and the popularity of the topic will give this title wide appeal." ( Booklist)

Very easy, accessible strategies

I appreciated the wide variety of ideas Albers offers for soothing one’s self without food. Her tone is positive, encouraging, and affirming, which leaves you feeling inspired. At times her commentary feels a bit redundant, but I think there was also something helpful about hearing some of those things a few extra times—almost like a mantra.

If you or someone you care about is struggling with emotional eating, I would definitely recommend giving this book a try.
