About this listen
Learn inner nurturing and end emotional eating.
If you regularly eat when you're not truly hungry, choose unhealthy comfort foods, or eat beyond fullness, something is out of balance. Recent advances in brain science have uncovered the crucial role that our early social and emotional environment plays in the development of imbalanced eating patterns. When we do not receive consistent and sufficient emotional nurturance during our early years, we are at greater risk of seeking it from external sources, such as food. Despite logical arguments, we have difficulty modifying our behavior because we are under the influence of an emotionally dominant part of the brain.
The good news is that the brain can be rewired for optimal emotional health. When Food Is Comfort presents a breakthrough mindfulness practice called inner nurturing, a comprehensive, step-by-step program developed by an author who was herself an emotional eater. You'll learn how to nurture yourself with the loving kindness you crave and handle stressors more easily so you can stop turning to food for comfort. Improved health and self-esteem, more energy, and weight loss will naturally follow.

Good content, poor narration
The content of this book is terrific, and lines up with current research in the past 10 years. However, I find the narration challenging to listen to. It sounds choppy and unnatural, somewhat like a computer voice, which, after recently listening to skilled narrators such as Daniel Mate and Perdita Weeks, I find I am having to force myself to continue listening to this read. Unfortunate.
1 month later - I can say I've gotten used to the voice now and it is tolerable, but it still feels like I'm listening to an episode of CBC's "Marketplace". I wonder if the narrator is a journalist?

Useful psychology
Lots of useful psychological facts are provided in the book. I personally could not apply any of the suggested solutions because talking to myself to comfort and soothe myself as if someone else is talking to me is not something I felt comfortable doing.
