Why we cite it
Popular bestseller that frames compulsive eating as a metaphor for how we live our lives — the relationship with food mirrors beliefs about love, fear, meaning, and self-worth. Provides an experiential and spiritual perspective that complements the empirical research on emotional eating, offering readers a narrative entry point into examining their eating patterns. Widely read (Oprah endorsement) and influential in popularizing the idea that disordered eating reflects emotional/spiritual needs rather than willpower failure.
