A Practical Guide for Resolving Food Conflicts

A practical guide for resolving food conflicts and more. This easy to read book gave us a few good tips on how to deal with our different food preferences. However, many of the conflict resolution techniques are applicable to resolving other family issues. A must read for those who want to live happier lives.

At Long Last!

Finally! Here is a book that addresses one of the most important, but rarelly acknowledged, issues related to eating: relationships. I was thoroughly fascinated by this look at how inter-personal relationships can affect our eating habits. And I plan to give copies of this book to a number of my friends!

Excellent book for those who have "food fights"

For anyone who has ever argued about chips v. crudite with their husband, this is the book for you. Very insightful and realistic look at how we eat and how it affects those around us, including how someone ELSE eats effects our own eating habits (anyone remember dating that guy and gaining 10 lbs. on his diet of beer and wings?). Fun little vignettes and quizzes keep the book flowing. A must read for anyone struggling with their partners' eating habits.

We've been waiting for a book like this!

Finally! My husband and I have been wrestling with the food issues tackled in this book since we first moved in together more than three years ago. "Your Diet is Driving Me Crazy" gets it exactly right. My husband can eat anything he wants (and does!), while I have struggled with my weight for years. After reading this book, we are now armed with real, practical and sane solutions to the food problems that often threaten to overwhelm our relationship. Authors Sass and Maher clearly know their stuff and realize that food is, for many couples, a highly complex subject touching on family histories, self-esteem and other emotional issues. Bravo to the authors of this book for creating a terrific guide for the millions of couples out there who are not in sync when it comes to their diets and who struggle to build a home where food issues don't sabotage their lives. Anyone in a relationship will benefit from the sound advice offered in this excellent guide.
