A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever
By Marianne Williamson
Published November 2, 2010 (Hardcover) Hay House
Toxins crawl out of my body. Mad carpenter ants. Only this time, there is no husband to pack his wet tobacco onto the bite marks to suck the venom. And the itch! This time, the itching springs up. To the top of my head. My palms. The soles of my feet. A parade itching for change.
All I can do is roll with it – and listen to Marianne Williamson tell me it is a classic toxic response – and oh so very good, though admittedly painful. Poisons must come out they way they went in, she tells me on Open Book with Diana Page Jordan. Read the rest of this entry »

Rock What You’ve Got: Secrets to Loving Your Inner and Outer Beauty From Someone Who’s Been There and Back
By Katherine Schwarzenegger
Published September 14, 2010 (Hardcover) Voice
“When did life turn into a constant beauty pageant?” Katherine Schwarzenegger asks in her book Rock What You’ve Got. Smart book. Substantive. So before you start hearing her father’s voice saying “I’ll be back,” in your head, listen up. If you’ve got a daughter – maybe even if you just are a daughter – you’ll relate to a lot in her hot pink and purple book. I’m interviewing Katherine tomorrow about her book at my home studio.
Only two percent of women describe themselves as beautiful. Which may mean that those women are the models you see in fashion magazines. The average fashion model is over six feet tall and weighs far less than 120 pounds. The average American woman is five feet four inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. Less than five-percent of all women have the body they see in those mags. Read the rest of this entry »

Cosmic Energy: How to Harness the Invisible Power Around You to Transform Your Life
By Anne Jirsch
Published June 1, 2010 (Paperback) Llewellyn Publications
I woke up this morning without a voice. As a voiceover artist, that meant losing one job, postponing two others, and hoping my voice is ready for a weekend of news anchoring. I caught one of those nasty bugs, apparently. Damn. First time in years I lost my voice. So which book? I picked up Sweet Misfortune, a novel which I decided to read tomorrow, and Cosmic Energy, the winner for tonight.
One key aspect to being ill is surrender. Voiceless? No choice. As I started reading Cosmic Energy, the most remarkable thing happened. Read the rest of this entry »

Kids’ Cakes from the Whimsical Bakehouse
By Liv Hansen & Kaye Hansen
Published June 1, 2010 (Hardcover) Clarkson Potter
Kids’ Cakes from the Whimsical Bakehouse sparked a grin from ear to ear. I suddenly realized how hard I was smiling, looking at the brilliantly colored photos in the book, and that made me laugh.
That was a sweet part of childhood. Baking birthday cakes Read the rest of this entry »

By Jacob Teitelbaum, MD
Published March 1, 2010 (Paperback) Fair Winds Press
Nice. I’ve got this sweet little square of Ghirardelli dark chocolate with liquid caramel oozing out of the prissy little bite I’ve made to make it last longer…and I’m opening the mail. I take another bite, savoring the dark sweetness, and you know what slid out of that padded yellow envelope – Beat Sugar Addiction Now! Ah, crap! No fair!
So I swallow the last little bit, savoring that elegant sweetness, and open the book. Another teacher arriving on cue. This week I spent Read the rest of this entry »

Women Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything
By Geneen Roth
Published March 2, 2010 (Hardcover) Scribner
There have been only two sizes of clothes in my closet for the past twenty years – fours and smalls. You may conclude that I do not need to read a book like Women Food and God. But I do.
Because inside my wicker hamper – that I bought in New York City when I was 21 and working for a fashion and beauty boutique PR agency – I have Read the rest of this entry »

212
By Alafair Burke
Published March 23, 2010 (Hardcover) Harper
Normally, one would never put these two books together – Alafair Burke’s 212 and Whitney Ferre’s Creatively Fit. But there is a common thread between Burke’s thriller and Ferre’s artistic rebellion.
The Artist Within: A Guide to Becoming Creatively Fit
By Whitney Ferre
Published October 28, 2008 (Paperback) Turner Publishing Company
One of the coolest comments Alafair Burke made when we discussed her writing process of 212 concerned the serendipitous nature of her work. She wrote the thriller without an outline – that despite numerous stories that intertwined. You can hear Alafair’s complete answer on Open Book with Diana Page Jordan today. There’s a rhythm and a magic to it. She credits her lawyer-brain for her ability to tell a multi-nuanced story. But the inspiration! Ah! Read the rest of this entry »

The Shift: Taking Your Life From Ambition to Meaning
By Dr Wayne W. Dyer
Published March 1, 2010 (Hardcover) Hay House
Wayne sent me his movie to watch – and I will – but I always read the book first. The Shift gently reminds me of who I am, who we all are, really. Dr Wayne Dyer takes us from the stage of being nothing and everything, an aspect of Oneness…to the Ego, of Edging God Out..to finding the true Meaning of Life. He calls up the scriptures, the beloved words from every culture, poets and philosophers. He reminds us that when we are ready, we will see who our teachers are, and we will open to them.
The Shift arrived a few days ago, but today, it was the only book I wanted to read. Read the rest of this entry »

Impossible to Easy: 111 Delicious Recipes to Help You Put Great Meals on the Table Every Day
By Robert Irvine
Published March 30, 2010 (Hardcover) William Morrow Cookbooks
The Garlic and Herb Pesto-Crusted Lamb Chops are in the oven. Page 153. It says “this recipe isn’t deceptively easy – it’s jusy easy! Pesto delivers a wallop of flavors without investing a lot of time and effort, but you still get all the credit.”
Let me juxtapose that with what author Robert Irvine says in the beginning of his colorful Impossible to Easy Cookbook. “Anything worth doing (and cooking is worth doing, I assure you) is worth suffering at least a little stress over.”
This has been Read the rest of this entry »
