I had just finished reading Dani Shapiro's book, "Slow Motion" and connected with her via Facebook. On Dani's profile she had a link to "enLIGHTened: How I Lost 40 Pounds with a Yoga Mat, Fresh Pineapples, and a Beagle Pointer." As a serious student of yoga, and one who ate her way through the second half of 2009 (the result of a very stressful, emotionally wrenching year), I was intrigued. What a terrific book! Part whimsy, part serious self-reflection, always honest and raw, the message is clear ... be honest with yourself, take care of yourself and the better you will be, along with those you surround yourself with. I found the book life-changing in many ways, incredibly inspiring and one that I will continue to re-read. The recipes are easy and wonderful. One other reviewer mentioned the chilli ... it is amazing! I encourage anyone who is interested in making a better and more centered life for themselves to read this book, you will not be disappointed... there are lessons here for us all.

enLIGHTened: How I Lost 40 Pounds with a Yoga Mat, Fresh Pineapples, and a Beagle Pointer Overview

An absorbing, entertaining diet memoir with humor, empathy, and yoga.

Meet your new best yoga-and-healthy-eating friend in this smart, accessible, and funny memoir of dieting and discovery.

For years, Jessica struggled with fluctuating weight and bouts of unhappiness. Like many of us, she found comfort in food and craved cigarettes and self-confidence. Then one day Jessica took her first yoga class in Katmandu. She lost 40 pounds and changed her life forever.

In enLIGHTened, Jessica shares the core principles of yoga philosophy—not the poses and postures, but the ancient system of ideas that lies behind them, drawn from a 2000-year-old text called the Yoga Sutras. The inspiration for this memoir-driven diet and health book is studied by devout yoga students and teachers, and offers answers to eating smartly, living right, and losing weight.

Jessica goes beyond yoga's merge into mainstream—beyond trendy diets, unsustainable exercise routines, and the quest for the perfect figure. Using spiritual philosophy, and personal stories everyone can relate to, she sets the reader on a journey to self-acceptance, personal peace, and long-term health.
