Summary of Thich Nhat Hanh & Lilian Cheung's Savor

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I have struggled with my weight all my life. I am tired of carrying this extra weight around. I do not feel good. Every day is a struggle for me. Every night is a nightmare. I have diabetes now, and I am really worried. #2 The food court at the local shopping mall is a feast of choices that can overwhelm the senses. The abundance of aromas, colors, and sounds awaken your palate and your urge to eat. In and of itself, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But it often leads to eating automatically whether we’re actually hungry or not. #3 The food industry spends more on advertising than any other industry except the auto industry. They want consumers to consume as much food and drink as they can, and then have some more. #4 The Buddha teaches that change requires insight, and insight cannot begin until we stop and focus our attention on what is happening right in front of us. We must step off our frantic life treadmills, stop unconsciously doing the same things over and over again, and reflect on a constructive way forward.
