Praise for Shrink Yourself

"In Shrink Yourself, Dr. Gould offers a simple but profound truth: hunger originates in your mind, not your belly. This empowering book will allow you to lose weight by recognizing the psychological stumbling blocks in your life that contribute to your emotional eating. If you′re fed up with yo–yo diets that leave you feeling frustrated, confused, and powerless, you owe it to yourself to read the wisdom in this book."
– Joseph J. Luciani, Ph.D., author of Self–Coaching: The Powerful Program to Beat Anxiety and Depression

"Some things in life we can change; some things we can′t. Our weight is definitely something we can change and control if we follow Dr. Roger Gould′s brilliant method. Every time I′m tempted to reach for that extra sugar fix, I think about what I learned in Shrink Yourself – and I just keep on walking."
– Maud Adams, actress and model

"Obesity is an epidemic in America, and numerous experts have tried to identify its causes. Drawing on his background in psychiatry, Roger Gould makes a major contribution to our understanding of it by identifying the basic emotions that give rise to unhealthy eating habits and offering a manageable step–by–step program for readers to combat it."
– Senator Edward M. Kennedy

"It′s important for long–term weight loss to change your eating habits to include healthy, whole, natural foods in your diet, but in order to motivate yourself to lose weight for the long term you need to change the way you think about eatingâ and about yourself. Shrink Yourself gives you the equivalent of eight therapy sessions with a brilliant psychiatrist who coaches you step by step to stop emotional eating and start feeling and looking great."
– Fred Pescatore, M.D., author of The Hamptons Diet and The Hamptons Diet Cookbook

"In this motivational, fascinating, and practical new book, Roger Gould shows readers how to lose weight by stopping and reversing the emotional eating habits they have developed over a lifetime."
– Mike Huckabee, Governor of Arkansas and author of Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork

"This is a masterpiece: the only serious and practical guide for anyone serious about losing weight."
– Warren Bennis, University Professor at the University of Southern California and author of On Becoming a Leader



Product Description

Studies show that the reason why many people gain weight—and keep it on—is emotional eating, not physical eating. Now Dr. Roger Gould, a psychotherapist and a leading authority on emotional eating, shows how to overcome fear, anxiety, and other stresses and stop using food as an over–the–counter tranquilizer that can cause weight gain. With 12 practical ways to stop emotional eating and an eight–session program, Dr. Gould helps you become your own eating therapist and shrink yourself for good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great as part of a combined pragramme, 3 Sep 2008
The book is very good but honestly if you are a genuine compulsive or binge eater it may not work on its own. There is a website (of the same name) and I have signed up to the online programme and am using the book to support the online exercises. I have been doing it for 2 months (is a 3 month programme) and for me it has worked when nothing else seemed to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Im impressed!!, 21 Oct 2008
By katie "katie" (united kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have just reached part two of this book so obviously i can only comment on the first half but so far i am liking this book!! I like the fact that it is straight talking and to the point. Also it makes you realise the impact on your entire life that emotional eating has and how deep rooted it can be within you. A good book for anyone who is as sick as me over the constant hard cycle that emotional eating brings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Breakthrough, 4 Oct 2008
By Myfanwy "Myfanwy" (Hertfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
I am still reading this book but wanted to add that it is such an easy read and every chapter makes perfect sense and all readers will feel it is written just for and about them. I agree with previous reviewer that the book in conjunction with the online programme is the way to go.
