Kris Carr

Chris brings humor and an original voice to a sobering topic. I don't have cancer, but if I did, I think her book would be more than helpful, once I got over her delightfully cheeky "f**k cancer" attitude.

She chronicles her story from diagnosis to owning her status as a survivor. She doesn't make any of it sound heroic or fake. Her passion for diet and living well inspire. And I have to ask myself, why what for a diagnosis, or a crisis? Why not live a vibrant, attentive life of self-care show more right now? show less

Ok, this could easily be a 5-star rating, but since I'm not in the target audience, and happily so, I don't think my review holds as much credibility. After reading Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips I knew I liked Kris Carr and her kick-ass writing style. Now I flat-out love her. She writes with a smart, authentic, humble voice and puts all her cars on the table -- spiritual, emotional, health/exercise/diet, relational -- as she lives in the center of her mission: inspiring others to make life (with show more our without cancer) the best it can be. show less

I read this book years ago and decided to give it a second look. I wasn't as impressed the 2nd time around, mostly because I've recently read some great books on food and nutrition that are much easier to digest. There is a lot going on in this book, and it is easy to get overwhelmed and feel like you are doing everything wrong. Like, now I have to eat vegan, gluten-free, get enemas, meditate, and use essential oils...for starters?

I love Kris and her message. Her blog and videos are great show more and I look forward to seeing her smiling face. She has a wonderfully calming aura. I just don't recommend her books for beginners. show less

I liked this book because it embraces a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle (something that is not covered in so many diet/health books). Also, I think she does a great job at explaining (in layman's terms) why eating certain things are good or bad for you, how your body processes different things, etc.... A really good basic text for learning why you need to eat better.

A caveat -- sometimes, her conversational style (while usually a great way to convey info) veered into hip/teenager-style speak, show more other times into sailor-speak (aka swearing). It didn't really bother me, but I think it might turn off some. Also, her pages about the 21-day cleanse are definitely aimed specifically for females, though the nutritional background & info that are the bulk of the book are great info for anyone. show less
