HEALTH~In this follow-up to her New York Times best-selling The Beck Diet Solution, Beck continues to espouse the benefits of cognitive therapy in helping people change their eating and exercise habits. Readers learn to develop ""Success Skills"" through five stages, each with a set of specific tasks (e.g., set a modest goal; talk to your family). Good for people who like to verbalize their thought processes or those who have exhausted gimmick diets. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 10/1/08.].
