Paperback. Condition: Good. Love More, Binge Less, and Stay Fit breaks new ground with its cutting-edge approach to permanent weight loss. For the first time, overcoming years of constant weight struggle is defined by more than nutrition and exercise. We all want to know how to escape from ongoing weight fluctuations, food guilt, dieting misery, and body image insecurity. We also want to know how to find the best diet to get to our dream body size and weight that we imagine will provide a turning point toward a fit body and self-confidence. In this book, Annie Stern writes with compassion and great insight to isolate the four big obstacles and the five secrets that change the perspective of weight loss and the diet industry. The goal is to create permanent changes between the relationship we have with food and with our body. This book provides a road map to illustrate why restrictive diets followed by guilt-ridden binges, overeating, and body hatred show up in our life as a constant weight struggle. Have you tried every new diet or weight-loss plan and chronic exercising but you're still gaining back the pounds you lost within a few months? Perhaps this frustration sends you in search of still another plan, which ends in the spinning wheel of compulsion to dieting for years to come. In that case, this book is for you. Our degree of readiness is the key to paying attention to what's behind the symptoms as we seek the solutions for how to stop fighting food, fighting with our fridge, or fighting with our body-but mainly with ourselves. Only then we will find real joy with our bodies again.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. For four years, Jessica Stern interviewed extremist members of three religions around the world: Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Traveling extensively-to refugee camps in Lebanon, to religious schools in Pakistan, to prisons in Amman, Asqelon, and Pensacola-she discovered that the Islamic jihadi in the mountains of Pakistan and the Christian fundamentalist bomber in Oklahoma have much in common. Based on her vast research, Stern lucidly explains how terrorist organizations are formed by opportunistic leaders who-using religion as both motivation and justification-recruit the disenfranchised. She depicts how moral fervor is transformed into sophisticated organizations that strive for money, power, and attention. Jessica Stern's extensive interaction with the faces behind the terror provide unprecedented insight into acts of inexplicable horror, and enable her to suggest how terrorism can most effectively be countered. A crucial book on terrorism, Terror in the Name of God is a brilliant and thought-provoking work.…
