RIS Book Club: What We're Reading

March Book of the Month:

The End of Overating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite by David Kessler

"A compelling book about overeating and the obesity pandemic. Dr. Kessler thoroughly examines the nature of our relationship with food and why it is critical to understand and modify our behavior to reverse this global threat to health and well-being."

—David Satcher,

former surgeon general and director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

"If Kesser's encouraging words don't prod Americans into new habits, the shock therapy of learning what we're really consuming likely will."

 —The New York Post

"One of the best books ever written on why it's so hard to control overeating and what we can do about it. Multidimensional and brilliant."

—Dean Ornish, M.D., author of THE SPECTRUM
