Summary: Great book if you read ALL of what she is saying.
Review: Those who know the contemporary icon "Susan Powter" see the motivational tigress who ruled the infomercial circuit a few years back. Not only must we retain any and all wisdom she put forth on those TV spots, we must keep "Stop the Insanity" on our bookshelves for future generations of potential victims of corporate fast-food henchman and diet fanatics who prey on the innocent Gazzellian souls whose only wish is to find peace in a society that tries to slash the very thurrock of everyman's soul, dooming it to a voyage of despair.Ms. Powter puts a literary lime twist into Kafkaesque prose, cleverly diced into motivational rants against the commercial food industry. It might look simplistic at first glance; try reading a few pages out loud, and when I say "out loud," I mean add a slightly wrung tension to your voice with a medium toned shout. The depths of such writing will reveal themselves through such spoken word, as can be done with Dylan Thomas'work, or Rod McKuen's translations of Jacques Brel's lyrics. If we decide to gain from Ms. Powter's writings, future generations will see not a TV pitchperson but the ultimate revelator, an Amazon brave enough to crush all tools of money grubbing executives who are nothing more than suited stalagmite. "Stop the Insanity" is not just a book, it is a movement that delivers us greatest source of optimism since Norman Vincent Peale.

Summary: Well, she's been there
Review: when I got this book two years ago I was very skeptical because i had tried everything but with no lasting results. what was said in the book really made a lot of sense. it does work. I am down 130 pounds and have maintained it for 2 years now and i feel great. when i feel like im slipping i re-read the book and i feel more motivated to "stop the insanity" more than ever.
