"The PlantPlus Diet Solution: Personalized Nutrition for Life is the best book in years on nourishing not just your body but your mind and spirit as well. This is a superb example of the integration of cutting-edge science, psychology, and common sense. If the endless stream of diet books makes you want to run in the other direction, The PlantPlus Diet Solution is for you. I never thought I'd see a book on nutrition that is fun to read, but here it is. Bravo, Dr. Borysenko, for reminding us that the kitchen can be a sacred site."
