Cravings A Zeninspired memoir about sensual pleasures freedom from dark places and living and eating with abandon
Author: Wanda Hennig, Jo Marwick

Could some impossible-to-imagine link between infidelity, a blue movie, vegetables and Paris, France, sprout a seed of liberation? And what about Maslow and that ?Aha? moment on a waterbed in a Mormon home in Pocatello, Idaho, where she slept, or more aptly did not sleep, during a Greyhound bus journey stopover? She had, by then, officially mov... more »ed into the San Francisco Zen Center, which wasn?t where she was headed when she packed her bags and moved across the world from Durban, South Africa, via a stopover in London. A new career is what she had thought she was going to get and an adventure was what she thought she was going to have. In fact, she got a lot more than she bargained for. The author by then had a long history of binge eating and yo-yo dieting. Up and down. Feast and famine. She also had a history of depressive episodes, and being in denial about these; plus a backstory of seriously inhibiting social phobia ? a public voice that more often that not gagged when she tried to use it. And a very busy head that caused her no end of problems. In Cravings: A Zen-inspired memoir about sensual pleasures, freedom from dark places, and living and eating with abandon, long-time journalist and life coach Wanda Hennig invites the reader to accompany her as she shares her journey from a life where she was constantly ambushed and repressed by personal demons to a rich and robust pleasure-filled life-affirming place. She writes not just about and for food-conflicted women but about and for men, too, and also, with humor and perception, about moving from one continent to another, having a midlife crisis in a Zen Buddhist temple, meditation, depression and social phobia ? not to forget celibacy, orgasmic meditation, sex and sensuality. She finds liberation strikes in unlikely places ? if you?re open to it. Bonobos, a curious LSD miscreant, good eating, an eclectic Toastmasters group, hospice training, Zen meditation, tears and laughter all come into play in this insightful gem of a memoir: writer, editor, foodie and adventurer Wanda Hennig?s first. She currently has three others in the pipeline. An inveterate traveler and long-time travel writer (for some years now with a culinary travel focus), many of the writer?s insights shared in this memoir cum self-help were gained while traveling and so we drop in on South Africa, San Francisco and Oakland, Poland, Paris (France), Pocatello (Idaho), Salt Lake City and elsewhere. This book is, however, first and foremost, a sex-positive ?original, fun, real, sensitive, smart? and entertaining inner journey.
