mac, Thanks for posting this. It comes out on 10/05/21 and is by Gary Foster, Chief Scientific Officer of WW. Sounds like it is going to be a lot like the Beck book.

bbbearsmom, I was thinking the same thing that it sounds like Beck, should be interesting. Thanks for posting date it comes out. Someone mentioned it at a virtual workshop tonight.😊

I note that one reviewer said it was more like stuff from NOOM than from WW, and another mentioned the focus on CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Thereapy) that is, of course, Beck.
While I'm mildly curious to see if I recognize any of the WW people whose "stories" are included, I don't plan on spending $25-ish dollars when I've got Beck on my bookshelf already.

Seems like WW is trying to combine NOOM and Go-Lo plans.

I am interested but will probably wait until it goes on sale at some point. That, or it might show up in the Wellness Wins store. I have about 9,000 wins to spend and there's nothing in there that I want!

They have been pushing this book for awhile now. I remember when CBT used to be included in the program we paid for (Tools for Living). You know, actual helpful things.
"#GiveaShift" way to keep it classy guys. 🙄

DebDoesWWI can't bring up link you posted, is it my phone? WW is really promoting this book as at the beginning of every workshop I was on this morning they played a video with Gary on it promoting his book. If you purchase the book on their website you can receive a $7 credit toward merchandise in the WW Shop.

The link is for WW Canada; perhaps that's the hangup. connect.weightwatchers.com/feed/trendingPre-order your copy here before October 4 to take advantage of a special offer for WW members: bit.ly/wwtheshift Buy the book at a book vendor as listed, send the receipt to WW, get a coupon.

That's weird. When I Google "weight watchers tools for living" it came right up, like MJ said it is WW Canada and I can see it from Google, but not my link.

diva49 I didn't want to edit your post because I wasn't sure what link you were trying post but the first one just goes to connect in general and the bitly one isn't an active link. Here is a link for the new book from Gary Foster with all of the information for the specal offer, just click the world "GIVEAWAY" read.macmillan.com/lp/the-shift/*If this is the one you were looking for you can just edit your post and I'll delete mine. 😉
