Prevention's Stop Dieting & Lose Weight Cookbook: Featuring: The 7-Step Get-Slim Plan That Really Works Mary Jo Plutt ($13.56)

Myss, much to her amazement, is a medical intuitive. A journalist who quit her job to earn a degree in theology, she was skeptical of New Age fads and utterly unprepared for the manifestation of her powers: impressions of the state of people's health that just popped, unbidden and unwelcome, into her head. Myss movingly describes how she learned to accept and utilize her intuitive gifts to help people understand the emotional and psychological roots of their illnesses and life crises. Now, 14 years later, she feels ready to teach others how to "read your own body like a scripture."
