Enjoy It All

Diets aren’t sustainable over the long-term, but so many of us don’t know how to eat without food rules to follow. By exploring the many reasons dieting keeps us stuck in an unfulfilling relationship with food— from misguided beliefs about weight and health to social bonding to emotional management — you can finally call off the search for the Secret (hot take: there isn’t one) and learn how to eat according to the wisdom of your body. In her new book Enjoy It All: Improve Your Health and Happiness with Intuitive Eating, Sarah Berneche delivers a step-by-step process for healing your relationship with food and your body image. While nutrition recommendations frequently pepper the pages of magazines and newspapers across the country, we’re left increasingly confused about food and disconnected from our bodies. Sarah teaches you that enjoying food and embracing the pursuit of pleasure can liberate you from diet culture for good while improving your health and sense of well-being. Imagine… • Feeling in control of your food choices — whether that means saying yes to double cheese pizza because it looks so good or no to the chocolate chip cookie because it doesn’t • Trusting food and your body enough to smash your scale, delete your calorie counting app, opt-out of your exhausting gym routine, and ditch the extensive Sunday meal prep • Keeping previously off-limits foods, like ice cream and candy, in your house…and eating them in a calm, kind way • Having the freedom to enjoy pasta, pizza, and pie without a side of guilt or shame • Understanding how all foods can fit into a healthy diet, and how to make necessary restrictions (such as for medical or religious reasons) a little more enjoyable Enjoy It All expands upon the following key points: • The reasons we diet and keep dieting — even when we know diets don’t work • What’s really underneath our never-ending quest for the perfect body • How our preoccupation with “good” and “bad” foods keeps us from food freedom • The value of habits and behaviors rooted in self-care vs. self-control • How pleasure isn’t antithetical to health — it’s intrinsic to it. Enjoy It All also features journaling and mantra exercises; an array of delicious recipes for breakfasts, mains, vegetable sides, and snacks; and a step-by-step process to support your health without dieting. We’ve been conditioned to believe we need to abide by external rules to be healthy. But what if everything you need to know is already within you? Take ownership and improve your health, happiness, and sense of well-being—all without rules or restriction!

The "twelve pathways" explained in this book are a modern, practical condensation of thousands of years of accumulated wisdom. A must for people sincerely interested in their personal growth.

“A beautifully written and well-researched cultural criticism as well as an honest memoir” (Los Angeles Review of Books) from the author of the popular New York Times essay, “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This,” explores the romantic myths we create and explains how they limit our ability to achieve and sustain intimacy. What really makes love last? Does love ever work the way we say it does in movies and books and Facebook posts? Or does obsessing over those love stories hurt our real-life relationships? When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. In a series of candid, vulnerable, and wise essays that takes a closer look at what it means to love someone, be loved, and how we present our love to the world, “Catron melds science and emotion beautifully into a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation” (Bookpage). She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists’ research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. She uses literary theory to show why we prefer certain kinds of love stories. She urges us to question the unwritten scripts we follow in relationships and looks into where those scripts come from. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she’d read about—where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions—and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. “Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us” (Booklist), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. “Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with—or curious about—the challenges of contemporary courtship” (The Toronto Star).
