The End of Overeating by David A. Kessler, MD

There are a lot of books about emotional eating out there, but I particularly enjoyed this one for the rigorous scientific explanations of brain functions. That kind of narrative can be hard to follow for those of us who aren't neurosurgeons, but Dr. Kessler managed to make the most complex living organism, the human brain, accessible. He also takes the food industry to task for its manipulation of these brain functions to make products more and more difficult for many people to resist. If you are an emotional eater and feel you might relate to a science-based program to control your addiction, you want to pick up this book.
