Past experiences, emotional trauma, and “predisposition” don’t put on pounds . . . incorrect eating does. Based upon the overwhelmingly successful principles of Rational Recovery Systems, a program that has totally revolutionized the field of addiction care, Taming the Feast Beast shows you how to stop gaining weight by gaining insight into the erroneous beliefs that compel you to eat.

Taming the Feast Beast will change the way you think about food forever. It is a bold and transformational guide that gives you the tools to: • Identify and defeat the inner voice that compels you to overeat • Maintain your self-esteem, even when you don’t maintain your diet • Dispel the myths of “codependency,” “comfort food,” and other fallacies that keep you fat • Lose all the weight you want—without support groups and restrictive diet programs

By scheming and theft, the Thief of Eddis has become King of Attolia. Eugenides wanted the queen, not the crown, but he finds himself trapped in a web of his own making. Attolia's barons seethe with resentment, the Mede emperor is returning to the attack, and the king is surrounded by the subtle and dangerous intrigue of the Attolian court. When a naive young guard expresses his contempt for the king in no uncertain terms, he is dragged by Eugenides into the center of the political maelstrom. Like the king, he cannot escape the difficulties he makes for himself. Poor Costis knows he is the victim of the king's caprice, but he discovers a reluctant sympathy for Eugenides as he watches the newly crowned king struggle against his fate. Fans of the Newbery Honor Book The Thief and The Queen of Attolia will recognize Megan Whalen Turner's signature plot twists and turns in the third exquisitely crafted tale about Eugenides.

Hurt people hurt people. Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer’s assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City. He’s blinded by love. She by ambition. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.
