Review
"A weight-loss tool kit. . . . The entire package is a practical, down-to-earth guide that should help overweight, out-of-shape Americans (two thirds of the U.S. population) take action. An easy-to-read how-to book, it invites active participation. . . . there is much here of value."andlt;BRandgt; --andlt;Iandgt;Booklistandlt;/Iandgt;
Review
"Bob Greene, best known as Oprahand#8217;s personal trainer, helps readers lose weight andlt;iandgt;and andlt;/iandgt;shows them how to stay motivated to keep it off. Too often, itand#8217;s this latter partand#8212;and#8220;the psychological side of weight lossand#8221;and#8212;thatand#8217;s ignored, even though itand#8217;s typically the mental and emotional components that determine how long weight loss lasts. Greene is determined to change this, helping readers take a deeper look at themselves and their relationship with food. . . .More than a book about weight loss, andlt;iandgt;The Life You Wantandlt;/iandgt;andlt;bandgt; andlt;/bandgt;is a treatise on deciding whatand#8217;s important in life, setting goals and achieving themand#8212;lessons that can benefit almost everyone."andlt;BRandgt; --andlt;iandgt;Bookpageandlt;/iandgt;
