enLIGHTened:
How I Lost 40 Pounds with a Yoga Mat,
Fresh Pineapples, and a Beagle Pointer
Meet your new best yoga—and healthy eating—friend in this smart, accessible, heartfelt, and funny diet memoir.
For years, Jessica Berger Gross struggled with fluctuating weight and bouts of unhappiness. Like many of us, she found comfort in food and craved cigarettes and self-confidence. Then one day, she took a yoga class. It changed her life.
In enLIGHTened, she shares the core principles of yoga philosophy drawn from a 2000-year-old text called the Yoga Sutras. The practice of yoga offers answers to eating smartly, living right, and losing weight.
Go beyond trendy diets, unsustainable exercise routines, and the quest for the perfect figure. With a spiritual philosophy and inspiring personal stories, enLIGHTened will set you on a journey to self-acceptance, peace, and long-term health.
Jessica Berger Gross is a longtime yoga devotee and editor of the award-winning anthology About What Was Lost: 20 Writers on Miscarriage, Healing, and Hope.
