Synopsis: LOVE SHOULD COME NATURALLY--but it often doesn't. Especially love for ourselves. In Choosing to Love, popular author Gila Manolson highlights new scientific findings on love and touch, describes the media's growing impact on self-image, and demonstrates how the alarming rise in eating disorders reflects disconnection from our essence. And powerfully, she shows how Jewish wisdom and spirituality can help us reclaim the ability to love another--and ourselves. "Gila Manolson['s]... finger is right on the pulse, and her sense of truth is right on target. In today's world, when confusion about love and identity abounds, her powerful message is more relevant than ever." Tziporah Heller, Senior Lecturer, Neve Yerushalayim College of Jewish Studies
