Title: thoughtful meditations on the state of our perceptions
Product review: I've had this book on my bookshelf for a couple of years, but I've never picked it up. I think I was put off by the title, which is really inadequate to the contents. But I finally did, and found it to be quite thoughtful and insightful.No book can be powerful enough to address the pains of body dysmorphic disorder and eating disorders (whether under- or overeating). That has to be done in real life, with the help of a caring professional. But if you are dealing with serious problems such as these, or with less disturbed but still painful obsessions and with constant self-criticism, this book is a good source of reminders for how to shift your attention toward the positive.The author's own journey is quite apparent throughout the book, at times directly through her words, but often less directly through her insight. It's an act of love to turn that journey into a gift for others.
