DOES THIS CLUTTER MAKE MY BUTT LOOK FAT?

Well known for his de-cluttering skills on TV's "Clean Sweep," Peter Walsh describes how the physical environment in which we prepare and eat food influences what we eat and how we eat it. A cluttered home and kitchen are like stressful background noise, nagging us and making us feel insufficient, needy, out of control, hungry. This and other Zen-like principles are illustrated with vivid examples and answers to questions from his media audience. The enjoyable Australian author/narrator has a leisurely speaking cadence—a deliberate slowness that suggests he is serious about every sentence and concept. This pacing, and the casual way the program's content is delivered, makes engagement with its intentions build slowly but assuredly. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2008]
