Make the Connection by Bob Greene, Oprah Winfrey (1996, Hardcover)

THIS YEAR I'VE DECIDED TO CHANGE A LOT OF THE (UGLIES)BAD THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT ME ANYMORE AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT OTHERS SAID OR DIDN'T SAY IT'S BECAUSE I AWOKE ONE MORNING AND I JUST FELT SO ALIVE ON THE INSIDE AND LOOKED SO IMPRISONED ON THE OUTSIDE DUE TO MY WEIGHT, THE FACT THAT I SMOKED, AND DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF MYSELF WHICH DIDN'T HELP EITHER.......SO THAT MORNING I GOT UP AND GOT ON EBAY AND LOOKED UP BOB GREENE'S BOOK AND DECIDED TO MAKE THE CONNECTION FOR MYSELF WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM BOB..... I LOVE THE BOOK AND IT HAS HELPED ME SO VERY MUCH..... THERE IS NOTHING I HATE OR DISLIKE ABOUT THE BOOK.....PERSONALLY I BOUGHT THIS BOOK FOR ME AND TO HELP ME GET CONNECTED WITH MYSELF THE PERSON THAT HAS NEVER LEFT MY SIDE WAS ME ALL ALONG.....

This is a great book to get motivated to make some changes in your life. Even though I was told to buy his new book, I couldn't pass up the price, and the book is well worth reading. In addition to providing inspiration, the book is touching and informative.

I bought this at the same time I bought Bob Greene's new book. Alot is the same but if you read both together you get some inconsistencies - Best to get the new book - "The Best Life"

This book is only for those who really care about their health. Oprah shares her heart breaking stories of dieting, including journal entries. She & Bob lay a road map to better health that is simple to digest, and Oprah gives inspiration to help motivate.

Great book that gives real world examples and temptations. Also truly "explains" all the little things that Grandma told us - drinking water, eating right, exercising, etc..... Oprah has pieces taken out of her journal and one can be inspired by seeing that even w a personal cook, personal trainer, etc. that it was still a battle she had to overcome everyday.

Awesome motivation. Just wish I could have a personal chef and trainer to get me through this! Only flaw I see is her eating, it is unrealistic for "normal" people to prepare the meals she has. Inspired me to log information though; do recommend.

i found this book to be very interesting, it was originally recommended to me so i purchased it for a friend as a christmas gift
