MINDFUL EATING A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food

Author Jan Chozen Bays offers a reflective narration of her book, which promotes a thoughtful approach to eating. Bays points out that people have given up their health and their appreciation of food as a result of a culture that promotes artificial techniques to improve physical appearance, high-efficiency multitasking, and convenience foods. Bays, who is also a longtime Zen teacher, evokes a tone of mindful listening with her low voice and smooth, deliberately paced reading. She offers abundant practical and sustainable tips and exercises not only for improving a person's relationship with food but also for developing a more wholesome way of life.
