Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert
Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything across Italy, India and Indonesia

Carey, March 18, 2010

I'm not sure she ever made the connection that each time she stopped eating sugar and pasta, her life got much better.

The Woman Behind the New Deal: The Life of Frances Perkins, FDR's Secretary of Labor and His Moral Conscience by Kirstin Downey
The Woman Behind the New Deal: The Life of Frances Perkins, FDR's Secretary of Labor and His Moral Conscience

Carey, April 20, 2009

Very well researched, easy to follow, and enough comments by people who were there about other people to satisfy my desire for gossip. If you enjoy reading about the Great Deal era or about World War 2, you'll enjoy this book, I think.

Potatoes Not Prozac: Simple Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity by Kathleen Desmaisons
Potatoes Not Prozac: Simple Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity

Carey, January 7, 2008

This is the completely revised version with up-to-date information on brain chemistry & neurotransmitters, based on Dr. Kathleen Desmaisons' work with thousands of alcoholics & addicts in sobriety centers & through her website, Radiant Recovery.

Kathleen Desmaisons has a Ph.D in Addiction Nutrition. She developed the theory that some of us are born with a biochemistry that is more susceptible to addiction. She calls this "sugar sensitivity."

Dr Desmaisons has a knack for explaining complex subjects in an easy-to-visualize way. Her tone is friendly & encouraging.

If you have children, I would also recommend "Little Sugar Addicts" which Kathleen also wrote.

Shining Through by Susan Isaacs
Shining Through

Carey, June 4, 2006

The book is so much richer than the movie--I love the movie but have read the book at least once a month for the past year.
