Summary

Original Air Date: June 16, 2003 Oprah talks to Laurel Mellin, author of "The Pathway," a self-help book with information about how you can turn off your desire to overeat, overspend, overwork and drink too much. Laurel says that overcoming any behavior takes two skills: self-nurturing and setting limits. We hear from women who overspend, overwork and try too hard to please people who realize the importance of addressing the underlying reasons for their behaviors, not just the behaviors themselves.
