I especially like the fact that Gross doesn't push her own method as the be-all-and-end-all. It is true that people all have their own ways to lose (and gain) weight. And she's right about dieters needing more than a method to knock off calories: a friend of ours once lost 150 lbs and put it all back on. He won't KEEP it off until he manages to shake whatever is making him eat so much in the first place. I've done yoga for years, though I've been lax lately. I can certainly attest to the peace of mind it can bring. And I know it does help some people lose weight: when I lived in Japan, a fellow yoga student claimed she'd lost 60 pounds after doing yoga for a year. This book sounds great!
