Publisher Description
Why do so many women drink and eat to excess and then spend their days regretting it? An expert on women and depression explains what can be done to treat and prevent it.
Depression is a common and debilitating problem among women, though it rarely occurs in a vacuum. As Susan Nolen-Hoeksema's original research shows, overthinking, a tendency to ruminate on problems rather than seek solutions, often co-exists with unhealthy eating habits and/or heavy drinking. In fact, 80 percent of women who report suffering from one of those also suffer from another. This groundbreaking audiobook explains how these three core problems reinforce one another, wreaking havoc on women's emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, and careers.
Susan Nolen-Hoeksema shows women how to harness their emotional and interpersonal strengths to overcome the stress caused by a destructive relationship with food, alcohol, and overthinking so that they can fashion effective, healthier strategies for living the life they deserve.

Ticket to the Toxic Triangle
Just when you thought we'd waded through the droning din of 20th-century feminist wailing, Susan Nolen-Hoeksema delivers an epic epidemic of female victimhood, narrated in the crisp, preachy tone which hawked those house-size boxes of Kotex back in the fabulous fifties. In veritable and inevitable droves, women are tragically hurling themselves into the abusive abyss she terms The Toxic Triangle! Society's sick mores and biology have conspired to plague the fairer sex with obesity and drunkenness; escape is futile (unless abetted by extensive therapy and a new wave of bra-burning).
I thought we'd finally escaped the hellfire, damnation, and righteous indignation of mid-20th century feminism, but this hyphenated harpie assures us we're hopelessly in its clutches. Remember, my bellicose sisters, our moral imperative to have a little whine with all that cheese whilst we bemoan our mutual plight!
