About the book
After two decades spent at Harpo Studios, the OWN network and The Oprah Winfrey Show, Sheri Salata found that her dream career had left the rest of her life neglected. Nearing 57, a hundred pounds overweight and without a partner, she set out to apply the makeover approach she had used on other people's stories to her own. The memoir revisits her past for its lessons and follows the transformation as it happens: a detox in the desert, an embarrassing stint at a popular Hollywood fitness studio, grief over losses, rebuilt friendships and sessions of sex therapy. Salata frames the stories as partly a warning and partly a rallying cry for people in midlife.
Elizabeth Gilbert praised it as an honest, funny and soulful road map for transformation, and Deepak Chopra endorsed it, saying her story shows how joy, love and self compassion matter most in human life.
