[Emily Alp · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book really makes you think at points--about what you are putting in your body and how it is processed. It's at this level of contemplation where change can really be planted as seeds that grow out of increased awareness. He's conversational and enthusiastic in his style--a conversationalist with writing, which helps because it's quite scientific at times. And then, in the end, he really ties everything up in a bow with info on music, prayer and other spiritual and emotional practices that are seriously important to overall health. That last section alone won him a lot of bonus points with me, because that is what I witness in elderly people who have aged with grace--a sense of spirituality and an emotional resolve to be positive. Recommended!

Really beneficial reading, I felt that there were some great points that were made with regards to nutrition based in scientific principles to not only assist in weight loss but also in living a healthier cleaner and happier life. I have read this several times and regularly dip in and out of this as it's a great resource for certain nutritional information.

Who isn’t tired these days? How many people do you know who wake up each morning full of energy and continue to be happy and productive all day? Not very many, I’m sure.

Stress, fatigue, obesity have become epidemic problems. As a society, we are sleeping less, eating more junk, and getting less exercise. It’s no wonder really. Have you ever really thought about what we put into our bodies each day? Look at the labels of the food you consume. Can you even pronounce half of the ingredients? The scary thing is that these lists don’t even include information on the pesticides that have been used in the production of these foods or any indication that they have been genetically altered. Not to mention pollution and toxics in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the products we cook our food in.

The Source contains a 21 day program that teaches us to be more mindful of what we put into our body each day. The program includes not only nutrition but also methods for detoxification, exercise guidelines, and the importance of stress relief. Unlike most books of this kind, the author also addresses the issues of emotional release and spiritual connection.
