1: Nice book!
It is a well written book that combines tongue in cheek humor with common sense to help anyone lose weight. The steps are easy and although sometimes silly, the author acknowledges the silliness. The amazing thing is that it works!!

2: Interesting book!
I think this book has some wonderful ideas about re-wiring your brain to eat better and not be consumed by poor eating habits. I highly recommend!
Be aware, this is not a diet, this is a book on behavior modification so that the diet you choose has a fighting chance of working :) In this respect, I think it is great for anyone to read who has bad habits since the skills outlined in the book could be used for anything you do that you'd like to change.

3: Martha Beck wins again
Truly a tool of invoking personal change and transformation.
NOT 'Another Diet Book'.

4: Dalai Lama isn't this funny
Took Martha Beck's Four Day Win to a week-long writer's conference on the coast. After two days, I was getting so much from the book I ditched the conference and took to the beach. For five days I read and wrote and listened to the seagulls. The exercises in the book were easy, and her sly writing made me laugh out loud every paragraph or two. (Rather like a sunburned crazy bag-lady.) Came out of the week stepping light, feeling free, and writing like crazy.
I recommend everyone take Martha Beck on vacation (if even to the coffee shop). You will have fun, find peace, and come back a lighter person.

5: INSIGHTFUL and a Good Book even if you're not wanting to lose weight.
There are philosophical quotes in here that are put into new perspective. The concept of creating your own paradise to feel free from stress and the desire to self destruct is explained amazingly. She uses a metaphor of a scientific experiment that I quote to anyone who is feeling that their day to day life is like running on a hamster wheel. If we can create a section of our day, our home, our life that stirs the emotions from inner self, we can truly feel free. I was inspired and awakened by this book.
