Summary: Food for thought?
Comment: If The Buddha Came to Dinner is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the entire wholeness of food and feel great. This book illustrates that, as people, we often eat in our busy lives without connecting to the food. This is easily evident in everything fast these days. The book shows us how to take an opportunity we all have several times a day to connect with food and the spirituality that it feeds.

The book takes you through a very manageable cleanse with many great healthy happy and delicious recipes. Looking at food in this manner has guided me to more clarity, energy, focus, and curiosity in ways to eat refreshingly.

I am grateful to Hale for pointing out a simple and fun way to understand the importance of to whom we feed and how we feed it. This has shown us a way to access a stronger and vivid connection just by looking into what we eat to make us thrive.

I hope there will be more books by this author to come.

Summary: If The Buddha Came To Dinner is a realization
Comment: This is an eminently practical and yet authentically spiritual guide to the vital subject of how we nourish ourselves on every level. The author touches us with stories of transformation from her practice and from her personal life.

She gives specific suggestions without pushing the line into dogma. She knows the subtlety of her subject, and she approaches it with a gentle, graceful, but sure hand.

I am greatly inspired by her chapter on Transformational Nourishment. Even the title says it all. We stand with our arms outstretched, reaching for the horizon yet it comes down to the simple day-to-day act of feeding our bodies, hearts, minds and souls.

I have had years of experience trying different diets and I am pleased to say that this book takes all that I know to be true and puts it in clear, useful and inspirational form. It is subtle: you feed yourself in everything you do and think and say and feel. Each breath you take provides further nourishment. Now, which aspect of yourself do you choose to feed, to support, to give life to?

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is a realization.

Summary: Spiritual Soul Food
Comment: This book is nurturing from the first page. It gently leads you to a pleasantly full stomach and a calm mind amidst the junk food and increasing daily stress of most of our lives. It explains the basic science of good nutrition without getting overly technical and gives you step by step practices to incorporate healthier habits and feel more vitality very quickly. It is ever mindful of the difficulty of always eating the most nutritious food and has many good suggestions for making the best of it. Body and mind live together and this book makes the relationship stronger and healthier than any other nutrition/diet book that I have read.
