The Four-Day Win
Summary
Everyone knows how to lose weight: eat less, move more. But so many dieters who know what to do still don't do what they know. Why not? Because they don't understand the brain-body dynamics of weight loss. Now, cutting-edge research has revealed that millions of dieters following typical weight loss programs are actually programming themselves to get fatter. In The Four-Day Win, Harvard-trained Oprah magazine columnist Martha Beck, Ph.D., reverses this trend and teaches dieters to get lean from the brain outward. The Four-Day Win tells how to reverse the brain-body programming that makes you fat, so you can create a new, leaner, and healthier body...for good. As empathetic and funny as she is informative, Martha Beck observes that: Traditional dieting relies on the ability to go numb or to override physical and emotional feelings. Overeating is a self-calming compulsion similar to OCD: dieters turn to food (and lots of it) when they're deprived of comfort. Overweight people can reverse the brain-body programming that is making them fat. Instead of attacking their bodies, they can learn to support them. Dr. Beck helps you to think thin and end your compulsion to overeat, and includes a Jump-Start weight-loss program that will help you shed pounds the best way, both psychologically and physically. An inspiring and enlightening challenge to everything you think you know about losing weight, The Four-Day Win provides you with an easy and fail-proof way to change your life.

The Way of Integrity
Summary
"This radiant book will not only change your life, but perhaps even save it." (Elizabeth Gilbert, number-one New York Times best-selling author) "Martha Beck's genius is that her writing is equal parts comforting and challenging. A teacher, a mother, a sage, she holds our hand as she leads us back home to ourselves." (Glennon Doyle, number-one New York Times best-selling author) Best-selling author, life coach, and sociologist Martha Beck explains why "integrity" - needed now more than ever in these tumultuous times - is the key to a meaningful and joyful life. As Martha Beck says in her book, "Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period". In The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us - people-pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits - all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole. Inspired by The Divine Comedy, Beck uses Dante's classic hero's journey as a framework to break down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps. She shows how to read our internal signals that lead us toward our true path, and to recognize what we actually yearn for versus what our culture sells us. With techniques tested on hundreds of her clients, Beck brings her expertise as a social scientist, life coach, and human being to help listeners uncover what integrity looks like in their own lives. She takes us on a spiritual adventure that not only will change the direction of our lives but bring us to a place of genuine happiness.
