		<description><![CDATA[In Savor, Thich Nhat Hanh combines his wisdom with the expertise of the Harvard Director of Health Promotion and Communication, Dr. Lilian Chang.  Together they write about the ailments of unhealthy living, such as obesity, that plague so many people.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a DNF&#8211;a did not finish&#8211;for me.  Not a did not finish the book, but a did not finish the diet.

The story (of the book, I&#8217;ll get to me in a minute) is that Krista Vernoff, produce of Grey&#8217;s Anatomy, needed to lose weight, so she turned to her marathon-running, fitness-junkie friend, who designed [...]

		<description><![CDATA[O.K., the first thing that you have to know about this book is that it was first published in 1912 (in French, 1915 in English).  Therefore it&#8217;s very ethnocentric and thinks that white people are the bee&#8217;s knees and everyone else is less evolved.  

I mean, just look at the title.  Look at the guy [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Of course, with the drive towards ereaders, the portability of a book might not be of consequence, but it&#8217;s fun to carry around a book of Jung&#8217;s writing like he&#8217;s your own personal guru.  Somebody tells you about an encounter or a dream or a movie, and you can say, hang on, let me consult [...]
