Gaining: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders

Our guest is Aimee Liu, Author of the New York Times Best Seller: GAINING: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders (Warner Books). GAINING is, in part, a sequel to Liu's very first book, Solitaire (1979), which was also America's first anorexia memoir. Revisiting the questions of what really causes eating disorders and what it takes to fully recover, Liu interviewed leading researchers and more than 40 other women and men with histories of eating disorders. Combining the latest science, true stories, and Liu's own personal insights, GAINING shows not only how and why these conditions develop but how they can be prevented.

GAINING connects the dots to show us why eating disorders develop, how they can be cured, and what they mean in the context of life as a whole.
