Praise for I Choose Life by Luna

“I have enormously enjoyed reading this important book. It is written not only with understandable personal passion, but with insight and balanced perspective. Given my role as a researcher and successful author in the health science field, I am certain that this book has much to offer to those who seek help with these eating disorders. I will strongly recommend it to many of my own Clinic Clients who struggle with these afflictions.”
– Dr Ronald S. Laura (DPhil, Oxford), Professor in Education, The University of Newcastle
