Summary
After completely and independently conquering a debilitating eating disorder, Kathryn Hansen wrote Brain over Binge to share her struggle—and her escape from it—with those still trapped in the compulsive binge-purge cycle. Since the book’s initial release in 2011, it has endured as an essential road map for using the power of the brain to erase harmful habits and create lasting change. The second edition is fully revised and updated with new information, compelling insights, and uplifting success stories that will inspire listeners to break free from their own self-defeating behaviors.
Brain over Binge is both a memoir and a scientific account, providing a gripping personal narrative and a research-based perspective on bulimia and binge eating disorder. Kathryn traces the course of her own condition and then describes in detail her unconventional approach to recovery. In the process, she offers a much-needed alternative viewpoint on the landscape of eating disorder literature to help others in the throes of any form of out-of-control eating.
The mainstream view of bulimia holds that it’s a complex disorder that manifests as a means of coping with deep underlying emotional and psychological problems. But the author resolutely departs from this philosophy, cuts through the confusion she experienced in traditional therapy, and simplifies both the origins of binge eating and its cure. As Kathryn explains the brain-based principles that led to her recovery from relentless bingeing and purging, Brain over Binge sheds current and crucial light on our human potential to overcome destructive patterns and reclaim our lives.

Science based approach to dealing with binge eating
Kathryn’s book is well researched and well written, mixing scientific knowledge with stories of her own experience. It’s been an eye opener to realise that urges to binge don’t have a hidden underlying motive, but are rather a habit. As any bad habit, it takes conscious attention to unlearn, but Kathryn has proved that it is possible.

Ten hours of my life wasted listening to this
I probably only heard about 8 hours of this incredibly boring audiobook as I kept drifting in and out of consciousness. I still have no idea what the "cure" was or is and I would be grateful if anyone could tell me what chapter to listen to again . Kathryn has a nice speaking voice but is totally wasted by repitition. Why speak 10 sentences when you can pad it out to 500 ?. I'm rather annoyed that I have wasted 10 hours of my life that I can never get back. This was my first audiobook and I can say it is also probably my last. I am puzzled about the number of rave reviews that this audiobook has received - I just don't get it.
