Why we cite it
Popular psychology book applying mindfulness techniques specifically to eating behavior. Now in its second edition, the book provides practical exercises for bringing awareness to the experience of eating — the pause before eating, recognizing the difference between physical and emotional hunger, and savoring food rather than consuming it mindlessly. The second edition expanded beyond clinical eating disorders to address “occasional mindless eaters” — the majority of the population who eat on autopilot. For the project, this provides the practical mindfulness framework that complements the habit-based approach: mindful eating isn’t about restriction but about awareness, and awareness creates the space for better choices without requiring willpower.
