Savor

Book by Thich Nhat Hanh & Dr. Lilian Cheung (2010)

A Zen Buddhist monk and a Harvard nutritionist combine timeless Buddhist wisdom with modern nutrition science to help readers transform their relationship with food and stress. It includes simple mindfulness practices (like eating a raisin with full attention), advice on breaking the cycle of emotional eating, and even a gentle nutrition guide. The tone is compassionate and spacious. For the emotionally exhausted, this book offers permission to slow down and savour, rather than jump into another rigid diet. Yet it’s grounded in research and real tools, a proper East-meets-West approach. Reading it feels like a coaching session with a wise elder who cares about both your inner well-being and physical health. You can check the book’s official page here.
