In my experience, I’ve found that success comes from not how you do it but who helps you do it, and a team of experts is the most effective way to get there.…

I just read an excellent book The Beck Diet Solution by Dr. Judith Beck. I was looking for a book applying cognitive behavioral therapy to weight loss, and came up with this one in a search on Amazon. CBT is excellent for improving negative thought patterns that affect our behavior.

It turns out Dr Beck’s father was a CBT pioneer and…
