Eating Wisdom [Abridged, Audiobook] [Audio Cassette]

Michael Toms (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2001

On this audiocassette, bestselling author Andrew Weil engages in a dialogue with New Dimensions Radio host Michael Toms on one of life's greatest pleasures: eating. Weil points out the dark side of fad diets and unhealthy eating patterns, while giving us life-enhancing and pleasurable eating alternatives. Weil contends that "food is a major connection between people - the act of sharing food is a fundamental human bond. If you go on a diet that separates you from other people or from your culture, you are sabotaging one of the very functions of eating." Some of the other topics that Weil and Toms discuss include: simple ways to become healthier; the psychology behind how we eat; why most diets don't work; the future of energy medicine; and some provocative and practical options for the health-care crisis.

Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Dr. Weil answers questions and gives us a far-reaching picture of global eating patterns and what's missing from the substance and culture of eating in America today. Food is a major connection between people, and it ought to be pleasurable, he says. Bland and difficult diets that are out of sync with our reference group won't be maintained. The interview format provides a looser, more casual recording than a formal talk or reading. In this example it also adds a personal context and spontaneity that subtract nothing from Dr. Weil's broad understanding of health and eating. A great way to start your new eating practices.
