What a self-centered know-it-all! Sheesh. There are much better books out there on this subject -- I highly recommend The Obesity Myth personal memoirs by Paul Campos. The one thing Anderson is right about personal memoirs is that you simply need to eat less and move more, and live that way forever, period. That's what works -- but man, this guy really should have sprung for a decent editor who'd stare him down about some of his puffy prose, and not just allowed his wallowing ego free rein to self-publish. Not worth buying. Was this review helpful to you? |

| I also found the ratio of philosophizing to anecdotal stories a bit higher than I expected, and while I enjoyed reading 7th guest all his thoughts on body image, exercise, weight reduction, etc, I would have liked to see more stories describing various days in his life while he was on his bodily transformation journey. This is primarily because he can be VERY funny while writing about real-life experiences. The most important 7th guest thing, however, is that his approach to mental and physical change is down-to-earth, common-sense, and utterly right on. This kind of 7th guest wisdom is desperately needed in today's culture of fad diets, dangerous pills, and rampant unhealth. Worth reading whether you need to lose weight or not.
