Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever

First edition

Author| Roger Gould
Language| English
Subject| Emotional eating
Publisher| Wiley
ISBN| 978-0470044858

Shrink Yourself (2007) is a book on emotional eating by Roger Gould. In Shrink Yourself, Gould suggests that the powerlessness people feel over food cravings is a cover-up for a deeper sense of powerlessness in five other areas of their lives. By recovering one's power in five key areas, Gould suggests one also recovers power over food cravings.[1]

The five areas he identifies are:

1. The Self-Doubt Layer: feeling powerless about how to deal with self-doubts.
2. The Frustration/Reward Layer: feeling powerless about how to get real satisfaction in life.
3. The Safety Layer: feeling powerless to insure personal safety.
4. The Rebellion Layer: feeling powerless to appropriately assert personal independence.
5. The Emptiness Layer: feeling powerless to fill oneself up when feeling empty inside.
