Lorie Eber’s Books:

• Boomers: Aging Beats The Alternative: and a sense of humor helps Lorie Eber, a re-careered lawyer, who is now a Gerontologist, addresses these boomer issues with her rapier-sharp wit and distinctive “tell it like it is” style, honed on the streets of New York. She talks candidly about the pain of her career reinvention, the challenges of keeping up with technology and the disquieting feeling that life is going by all too fast. Her introspective style also lends itself to creative insights, such as the off-the-wall notion that Starbucks Cafés provide the perfect model for boomer elder care.
• Eating with Fierce Kindness: A Mindful and Compassionate Guide to Losing Weight Eating with Fierce Kindness is not a diet, but a way to revolutionize how you think about yourself and about food. Eating with fierce kindness and compassion toward yourself, instead of shame and self-blame, will empower you to change your relationship to food and see yourself in a whole new light.
• How to Stay Healthy in a World Designed to Make Us Fat and LazyTrying to stay in shape and eat a healthy diet in today’s stressed-out, super-sized, sedentary environment can sometimes feel like a daunting task. As many as two-thirds of us have given up the ghost and decided to just make friends with our spare tires and jiggly butts. We convince ourselves that the culprit is getting old, our slowing metabolism, or hormones run-amok. The truth is, we sit too much and eat way too much food. This book will give you the skills you need to be a lifestyle rebel and stay healthy in our Humpty Dumpty culture
