After promoting this
message worldwide for thirty years, bestselling author Deepak Chopra
focuses on the huge problem of weight control in America with exciting
new concepts. What Are You Hungry For? is the breakthrough book
that can bring weight under effortless control by linking it to personal
fulfillment in every area of a reader's life.
What are you
hungry for? Food? Love? Self-esteem? Peace? In this manual for "higher
health," based on the latest findings in both mainstream and alternative
medicine, Deepak Chopra creates a vision of weight loss based on a
deeper awareness of why people overeat - because they are trying to find
satisfaction and wind up using food as a substitute for real
fulfillment. Repudiating the failed approaches of crash dieting and all
forms of deprivation, Chopra's new book aims directly at the problem of
finding fulfillment. When that problem is solved, he argues, normal
eating falls into place automatically, and the entire system of mind and
body achieves what it really desires.
“Everyone’s life story is
complicated, and the best intentions go astray because people find it
hard to change,” writes Chopra. “Bad habits, like bad memories, stick
around stubbornly when we wish they’d go away. But you have a great
motivation working for you, which is your desire for happiness. I define
happiness as the state of fulfillment, and everyone wants to be
fulfilled. If you keep your eye on this, your most basic motivation,
then the choices you make come down to a single question: “What am I
hungry for?” Your true desire will lead you in the right direction.
False desires lead in the wrong direction.”
Wherever you are in life, this book will help point you in that right direction. -- Publisher Marketing
