Cole Kazdin

Blending personal narrative and investigative reporting, Emmy Award-winning journalist Cole Kazdin reveals that disordered eating is an epidemic crisis killing millions of women.

"A feat of reporting in the hope of helping people repair their relationship with their bodies and food."

SHONDALAND

"What’s Eating Us is a vital contribution to the literature on disordered eating, and a must-read for anyone hungry for real data and hard-boiled hope on the subject of eating, diets, and wellness.”

CHRISTIE TATE, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF GROUP

"Both a memoir and a study of how disordered eating has become both normalized and encouraged in American culture...Her insightful discussions with researchers emphasize areas of eating disorders that are typically ignored, encouraging readers to think about aspects of diet culture they may not have considered...Kazdin's conversational tone and writing style make this book accessible to all readers.”

LIBRARY JOURNAL

"As much a personal story as an examination of body anxiety...Kazdin’s painful honesty is leavened with humor and irony.”

KIRKUS (STARRED REVIEW)

"A must read. Kazdin recounts her own struggle, and surrounds it with robust research and stories on the incredible prevalence and toll of body dissatisfaction, preoccupation with food, and eating disorders. She beautifully and tragically encapsulates how almost all of us are negatively aected by the toxic diet culture that we live in, how that makes full recovery so elusive to most, and how we can start to ght back.”
