        • 011: Book Review: Whole Brain Living

          How often have you found yourself staring at a cupcake, desperately wanting to eat it, but thinking that you probably shouldn’t?

          There’s a good reason why you frequently end up in a tug-of-war with yourself when it comes to food. And Jill Bolte Taylor’s new book, Whole Brain Living, gives some creative insight into why this happens.

          • Why it’s useful to identify the different characters inside your brain
          • How each character shows up in your relationship with food
          • The importance of allowing all characters a voice in your head
          • A practical exercise for bringing more awareness to your relationship with food and your body
