Media Reviews
A weight-loss tool kit. . . . The entire package is a practical, down-to-earth guide that should help overweight, out-of-shape Americans (two thirds of the U.S. population) take action. An easy-to-read how-to book, it invites active participation. . . . there is much here of value.
--Booklist
Bob Greene, best known as Oprah's personal trainer, helps readers lose weight and shows them how to stay motivated to keep it off. Too often, it's this latter part- the psychological side of weight loss -that's ignored, even though it's typically the mental and emotional components that determine how long weight loss lasts. Greene is determined to change this, helping readers take a deeper look at themselves and their relationship with food. . . .More than a book about weight loss, The Life You Want is a treatise on deciding what's important in life, setting goals and achieving them-lessons that can benefit almost everyone.
