Savor by Thich Nhat Hanh

Savor by Thich Nhat Hanh

Recent scientific studies reveal that social and environmental factors have a significant impact on weight gain. It's not just what we eat that matters; where we eat, when we eat, and how we eat all play a role in our relationship to food. In other words, the latest scientific research fully endorses a mindful approach to eating.

In Savor, Thich Nhat Hanh and Dr. Lilian Cheung offer a new paradigm for healthy eating. Drawing on Dr. Cheung's expertise in obesity prevention and nutrition and Thich Nhat Hanh's experience in teaching mindfulness, this is the last weight-loss book you'll ever need.Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master, poet, scholar and peace activist. His courageous efforts towards peace during the Vietnam War moved Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967.
