What to expect
What can Jane Austen teach us about health? Prepare to have your bonnet blown …
From the food secrets of Pride and Prejudice to the fitness strategies of Sense and Sensibility, there’s a modern health code hidden in the world’s most popular romances.
Join Bryan Kozlowski as he unlocks this “health and happiness” manifesto straight from Jane Austen’s pen, revealing why her prescriptions for achieving total body “bloom” still matter in the twenty-first century. Whether that’s learning how to eat like Lizzie Bennet, exercise like Emma Woodhouse, or think like Elinor Dashwood, explore how Austen’s timeless body beliefs are more relevant, refreshing, and scientifically sensible now than ever before. After all, it’s still a truth universally acknowledged—Jane Austen’s heroines don’t get fat.
Critics Review
-
“Austen fans and superfans will enjoy being reminded of how smart she actually is about our health, and how she uses food, eating, and exercise as shorthand for character.”
New York Times Book Review
-
“Refreshingly fun—a must read for anyone jilted by modern diet culture.”
Self magazine
-
“The Jane Austen Diet isn’t just another book of rules and regulations telling you what and what not to eat. It is ultimately a well-researched guide to free yourself from obsessive dieting and shift your focus to enhancing your physical, mental, and emotional health for a better quality of life with plenty of laughs along the way.”
Cooking Light magazine
-
“Hands down, the most spirited and satisfying wellness guide I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Jane was a genius—and so is this delightful book.”
Lauren Mechling, author of How Could She
