Reviews from advance readers: "Powerful and empowering", "Nice book, great idea, and good conversation starter", "Lovely....addresses such an important topic" You step on your bathroom scale and take a glance downward at the number the scale reads. But how do you process that information? If you're like most of us, you have anxiety about it no matter what the number is. Perhaps you are ashamed of your weight because you feel that you need to lose 10 or 20 or 100 pounds to be closer to what your estimate of the "ideal" weight is. Perhaps you are ashamed of your weight because you are often teased for being so skinny. Perhaps you have no idea what anyone else weighs either, so always feel that your weight is wrong, wrong, wrong. And as a result, you are insecure about it. And that is tough. To let that number, which you feel is wrong, dictate how you feel about yourself. To let it interfere with your relationship to food, to exercise, to clothes, to each other. Sucking the joy out of those relationships which are meant to nourish us, protect us, and make us stronger. But can it just be what it is? Can we, for once, own our weight and offer no apology? Would we burst into flames? The author's hypothesis was that making this private, embarrassing information public would be a helpful thing. That it would give the rest of us some kind of real-life compass when we're staring down at our own bathroom scales; an example beyond the photoshopped 100lb models in the size zero jeans. That women of all sizes have the awesome; it's not reserved for those of us close enough to the diabolical cultural standard, because the awesome comes from within. From our enjoyment of life, our families and friends, and the world around us. The end result: A photobook featuring 24 women and the number that is their weight. Putting it out there for the world to see. No apologies. No hedging. Letting it be what is it is, and opening up the secret for you, so you can see that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, stigma be damned.

Tools to make hard problems easier to solve. In this book, Sanjoy Mahajan shows us that the way to master complexity is through insight rather than precision. Precision can overwhelm us with information, whereas insight connects seemingly disparate pieces of information into a simple picture. Unlike computers, humans depend on insight. Based on the author's fifteen years of teaching at MIT, Cambridge University, and Olin College, The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering shows us how to build insight and find understanding, giving readers tools to help them solve any problem in science and engineering. To master complexity, we can organize it or discard it. The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering first teaches the tools for organizing complexity, then distinguishes the two paths for discarding complexity: with and without loss of information. Questions and problems throughout the text help readers master and apply these groups of tools. Armed with this three-part toolchest, and without complicated mathematics, readers can estimate the flight range of birds and planes and the strength of chemical bonds, understand the physics of pianos and xylophones, and explain why skies are blue and sunsets are red.

A book. With pictures. Of women just like you. And in plain sight for all to see, the number that their scales read that morning. No apologies. No hedging. Letting it be what it is and opening up the secret for you, stigma be damned. Surprise and serendipity await. "Next time I go out with my friends, I'm bringing this book. I know it will spark some great conversation. And maybe we'll be brave enough to tell each other the number that has too much control over our lives. The stigma lifts one person at a time." --GeekMom.com "The effect of 'How Much Do You Weigh?' in addition to confronting the taboo against publicly announcing/broadcasting the particulars of one's weight, is that it recalibrates our ideas of what certain numbers on the scale are supposed to look like. If 180 pounds sounds "fat" in theory, it doesn't necessarily look it in reality, which makes the whole enterprise of weight measurement - and, by extension, BMI - rather meaningless. --Anna Holmes, The Washington Post "Nieto has created a vital project tackling a thorny issue." -->i>The Opinioness of the World "Erin Nieto's project, 'How Much Do You Weigh?'... puts the body front-and-center, challenging us re-think what numbers mean. She counterposes photographs of volunteers with the number on the scale. These women model a refusal to be embarrassed by their weight and show us the imprecision of the number itself." --Lisa Wade, Sociological Images

Isn’t your desire to overeat really spiritual hunger? “I can stop in the middle of a candy bar and have no desire to eat the second half if my stomach is not calling for it.” - Gwen Shamblin Do you eat and eat and never feel full? Rise above the magnetic pull of the refrigerator and turn to the bounty offered to thousands who have embraced a liberating weight-reduction program in churches across America. The Weigh Down Diet gives new hope to millions who have failed on conventional diets and guides readers to the richer satisfaction that comes not from food, but from faith. Gwen Shamblin’s The Weigh Down Diet is a groundbreaking approach to weight loss. People who have known no end to their hunger and who have no control over their late-night binges have learned through the Weigh Down Workshop that they can remove the irresistible desire for food. This is not a diet like others, because it is not food-focused. It contains chapters such as “It’s Not Genetics or Your Mother’s Fault,” “I Feel Hungry All the Time,” and “How to Eat Potato Chips and Chocolate.” So, as you can see, here is a very different approach to weight loss. Weigh Down gives back hope to dieters who will learn that God did not put chocolate or lasagna on Earth to torture us – but rather for our enjoyment!
