Eating in the Light of the Moon: How Women Can… door Anita A. Johnston PhD.
Wow, this book has 5 stars from so many people. I just didn't enjoy it. The writing is dull and repetitive, although there are a few nice thoughts hidden in it. The stories she retells are famous and not so famous folk tales and myths, but she kills the magic in them with her dull writing, so that's not even good.

amaraduende | 2 andere besprekingen | Mar 30, 2013 | This was an interesting book, quite true to its name, Johnston uses myths, metaphors and storytelling to help illustrate some of the core "problems" with women's thinking regarding food and eating habits. While I definitely do NOT have problems on the level of examples used in this book - I do not now, nor have I ever been anorexic or bulimic or had any medically treatable eating disorder...I do make "bad" food choices and eat for reasons that are not related to physical hunger...so I got a lot more out of this book that I thought I would based on the target audience alone.
I am very glad to have read it...but realize that for the intended audience, this should probably be a STEP with it also being necessary to consult a doctor to really resolve the issues behind their "disordered eating." I think I've found my own "core" problem and that was largely due to the impact of a couple of the stories/myths used in the book...but the info that Johnston uses in conjunction with the myths/stories is interesting as well and very useful I think, for anyone with poor body image and/or "disordered eating" habits. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat!… (meer)

the_hag | 2 andere besprekingen | Jan 22, 2008 | One of the best books I have read about Eating Disorders. It combines storytelling with metaphores involving women, food, weight and ones body.
