" As a 52 y/o mother of two active teenage boys and the wife of a great, but hard working, husband, I needed some help figuring out why I was feeling very sluggish, achy, and depressed. I also wanted to spend some time with my mom to celebrate her 70th birthday, so we purchased Annie's book prior to attending her Detox for Health and Wellness retreat at Kripalu in May. I found the book to be very inspirational and informative, and my mom read it as well and liked how Annie helped her to "cultivate intention" in all aspects of her life. I am happy to report that the combination of the book, Annie's classes and teachings, yoga twice a week, and continued diet changes has been life changing for me! I feel really healthy and alive and enjoy my life. My husband loves all the recipes that I learned from Annie and Kripalu and he is "looking forward to reading the book, since the changes in my wife are remarkable!"

A comprehensive yet practical intro to eating mindfully and yogic philosophy. I read this book not because I need to lose weight but as a follow up to a workshop I took work Annie on Digestive Wellness. I have tagged and dog-earned much, underlined and high-lighted. Book reads easily and offers lots of easily applicable exercise (physical, spiritual, and mental). Case studies were a bit forced and unlikely but helpful in regard to narrative flow.

I enjoyed reading this book, although it was more about yogic techniques and other strategies for weight loss. Nevertheless, it was well-written and easy to read. I met the author and she is lovely and explains many of her beliefs and strategies in her classes and counseling sessions at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health!

This was really interesting. It was very inspiring and made me want to do yoga again. The only problem is that every time I see the cover of this book I think, "Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great..."
