Story
Overwhelmed with insomnia and an incurable autoimmune disease, Shannon Harvey needed to make a change. But while the award-winning health journalist found plenty of recommendations on diet, sleep and exercise, when she looked for the equivalent of a 30-minute workout for her mental well-being, there was nothing. Also worried for the future mental health of her kids, who were growing up amidst critical levels of stress, anxiety, depression and addiction, Shannon enlisted a team of scientists to put meditation to the test.

Drawing on the wisdom of Buddhist teachings, illustrative stories and the transformative power of meditation, Tara guides us in healing the shame and fear that bind our hearts. In the West, most of us have suffered the fear of not being 'good enough', feeling insecure about our appearance, our sexuality, our intelligence, our spiritual progress or - often most importantly - being worthy of love. When these feelings of insufficiency or self-aversion are strong, we fear abandonment and rejection.

His entire family came close to losing their lives on the sea as they escaped from war-torn Vietnam in an overcrowded boat. But nothing - not murderous pirates nor the imminent threat of death by hunger, disease or dehydration as they drifted for days - could quench their desire to make a better life in a country where freedom existed.

Publisher's Summary
We are becoming more and more obsessed with being thin...as we get fatter and fatter! The craziest part is that most weight loss 'solutions' are actually part of the problem. Diet and exercise programs fail 97% of people in the long-term, resulting in short term weight loss, medium term regain and long-term gain approximately 10 to 15% above starting weight.
Scientists have known this reality for decades - the entire diet industry is based on it - yet we keep on falling for promises of fast, easy, permanent weight loss (and other fictional tales), putting ourselves through rebranded versions of the exact same thing...and expecting different results. Some might call this insanity - weight management psychologist Glenn Mackintosh calls it Thinsanity.
Glenn's book, Thinsanity, aims to transform the way we approach weight management of the body, by starting with the mind. New scientific developments are offering insights into a compassionate way to make peace with food, fall in love with physical movement, and learn to love your body healthy. Glenn takes all those new scientific developments and expresses them the way he does with his clients: clearly and with lots of understanding. This book is right for anyone who wants to learn to love their body and be healthy in it.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Thank You Glenn
I've been following Glenn Mackintosh for over a year now, and I have the paper back version of the book, but had to buy the audio book as well, as I lack the time to read, and enjoy listening to audiobooks in my car and on my walks. I found it to be a great book, something that I have been looking for. I've been on one diet or another for almost 2 decades and needed to undo all the brainwashing the diet industry has done to me. I want to lead a healthy and fit life, without all the pressures of being on one diet or another. I haven't been fixed overnight, but I am working on healing myself with the help of Thinsanity. If you have fallen victim to the diet industry with all their promises of quick fixes, and easy weight loss like I have, and want to move towards a more realistic and balanced lifestyle, and if you want to stop hating your body and blaming yourself for the diet industry's failures, then maybe this is the book you were looking for. By the way Glenn, I thought you did a great job with narration, I found your voice to be very clear and I really enjoyed the pace of it.

The one book that makes sense!
As both an intense lover AND hater of food, and self admittedly the girl thinking 'the next diet will be the one that works', this book has changed my headspace, my approach and my appreciation of not just my body and food but my physical and mental health too. I especially loved hearing it in Glenn's soothing voice... soak it up!
