enLIGHTened: How I Lost 40 Pounds with a Yoga Mat, Fresh Pineapples, and a Beagle Pointer (Kindle Edition)
By Jessica Berger Gross

Review & Description

An absorbing, entertaining diet memoir with humor, empathy, and yoga.

Meet your new best yoga-and-healthy-eating friend in this smart, accessible, and funny memoir of dieting and discovery.



For years, Jessica struggled with fluctuating weight and bouts of
unhappiness. Like many of us, she found comfort in food and craved
cigarettes and self-confidence. Then one day Jessica took her first
yoga class in Katmandu. She lost 40 pounds and changed her life
forever.



In enLIGHTened, Jessica shares the core principles of yoga
philosophy—not the poses and postures, but the ancient system of ideas
that lies behind them, drawn from a 2000-year-old text called the Yoga Sutras.
The inspiration for this memoir-driven diet and health book is studied
by devout yoga students and teachers, and offers answers to eating
smartly, living right, and losing weight.


Jessica goes beyond
yoga's merge into mainstream—beyond trendy diets, unsustainable
exercise routines, and the quest for the perfect figure. Using
spiritual philosophy, and personal stories everyone can relate to, she
sets the reader on a journey to self-acceptance, personal peace, and
long-term health.
