The Reading Room
Reviews & Awards: Harvard Medical School


"My Other Body is one of only one of four books featured at this
year’s 20th Annual Practical Approaches to the Treatment of
Obesity. It went through a rigorous selection process to get
here.

The book is an autobiography that informs the mind and
touches the heart. It teaches the two essential clinical skills of
empathy and compassion, and is recommended reading for
anyone involved in the treatment of severely obese patients."

--Dr. George Blackburn, Associate Director of Nutrition
Division of Nutrition, Harvard Medical School

Recommends
My Other Body by Ann Pai
It's an incredible honor to have the book selected by the Harvard
Medical School's "Practical Approaches to the Treatment of
Obesity" conference.

In his e-mail letting me know that
My Other Body had been
selected for the conference, Dr. Blackburn said:  "For all the
reasons your many reviewers state, let us hope we can progress
to a kinder, gentle, and knowledgeable community."
