Obsessed: America's Food Addiction - And My Own by Mika Brzezinski
4.0
Mika should write college textbooks for intro courses. Largely, this book covered ground many are already aware of (though most turn a blind eye to), but the personal revelations keep the reader engaged. As someone who struggles more like co-author Diane Smith than Mika Brzezinski, I related more to her personal story, but I find myself thankful that I have never encountered the self-challenging stories Mika openly shares.
America has a food and weight problem. It's time for a more open conversation about that, and this book does just that for the people who will crack its spine.
Told from an honest place with little judgment but a big message, "Obsessed" is the kind of book that seeks to move people forward to healthy goals, and shares insights many are too afraid to admit to having. It won't change the world and it won't change you overnight, but it will make you think, and that's the greatest thing a book can do.
