Join us on the Gab With the Gurus Radio Show on Sept. 22 at 2 pm EST, when I'll interview humorous author Susan Shapiro, who says therapy helped her quit all her addictive behavior -- smoking,
drinking, pot, gum and sugar.
Sue will discuss how she was able to finally conquer her sugar habit. She'll also chat about her debut debut novel, Speed Shrinking, a humorous account about how a self-help guru goes on a shrink shopping spree, seeing 8 in 8 days to quickly find help after she relapses on cupcakes right before a major TV appearance.
As mentioned on the Sugar Shock Blog here and then again here, Sue has been holding acclaimed, much-publicized "Speed Shrinking" events, in which people chat about their issues for 3 minutes with a variety of "Speed Shrinkers." (Sue was kind enough to invite me to be one of them.)
If you're struggling with a sugar addiction, I recommend that you listen to my upcoming Gab With the Gurus Radio Show on Sept. 22 at 2 pm EST to get Sue's take on sugar addiction and more. (As usual, you can tune in live or later. See below.)
I also encourage you to get Sue's entertaining book, Speed Shrinking, which has been getting rave reviews.
For instance, Publisher's Weekly called it: " “…bubbly…an original voice and an energy that will resonate with anyone who’s ever stared down a Twinkie.”
And Guy Nicolucci, writer for Late Night with Conan O’Brien said: "Susan Shapiro does for therapy and food what Candace Bushnell did for sex and shoes.”
By the way, the plot of Sue's book strikes me as very funny. Speed Shrinking provides a humorous account about a self-help author, Julia Goodman, whose cupcake addiction gets triggered when her shrink, husband and best friend "abandon" her. The catch is: The heroine is allegedly a sugar addiction specialist, who will soon appear on the "Today Show" to promote her new book about how she conquered her sugar issues.
Rather than get "outed" for her weight gain and sugar challenges, Julia frantically sees eight shrinks in eight days to find a new one. Interestingly, all this shrink-hopping helped her lose weight.
Remember, you can get entertained, educated and inspired by listening live on Sept. 22 at 2 pm EST or later, when Sue appears on my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show.
