BOOKS

The books on this reading list have been chosen because each offers useful information to help you enhance your knowledge in any of the areas touched upon in The Taming of the Chew — physical, emotional, social and spiritual.

Because many of these suggested readings cover topics related to more than one area, I have coded the books in this way:

P = Physical
E = Emotional
So = Social
Sp = Spiritual

All books by Ann Louise Gittleman are highly recommended.
