Gather initial thoughts and broad opinions about the book.

1. What was your overall experience of reading the book? Did it bring up any particular emotional or intellectual reactions for you? Explain.

2. How does Enough compare to other books on diet, weight loss, and/or self-image that you may have read? In what ways is it different or similar to other books on the topic?

Encourage readers to connect the book’s themes and characters with their personal experiences.

1. Which personal testimonial did you most closely identify with (if any)? Explain what made you relate to that person’s experience.

2. Oprah Winfrey and others share their experiences of their changing weight and its connection to their fluctuating self-image and self-worth. Consider your own relationship with your body and body image. Does it have parallels to any of these stories? How has your own self-image changed, or not changed, over time?

3. Winfrey mentions the ongoing trend of “body positivity.” What is your impression of this cultural movement? What does “body positivity” mean to you in your own life?

4. The book argues that there are many factors that can influence a person’s weight. What are some of the external factors in your own life—e.g., health issues, environment, genetics, lifestyle, food sources—that you believe impact your health? In what ways did the book speak, or fail to speak, to your own situation?

Examine the book’s relevance to societal issues, historical events, or cultural themes.

1. Winfrey regrets contributing to diet culture through articles in her magazine and her television shows. To what extent is this book a departure or a continuation of that aspect of her career? How does Winfrey conform, or diverge from, current wider discourses about diet culture?

2. Dr. Ania Jastreboff shares her hope that people will begin to perceive obesity as a chronic disease and therefore stop shaming and blaming themselves. Do you believe this cultural shift will happen? Why or why not?

3. Jastreboff blames obesity on our modern “obesogenic” environment. To what extent are governments and corporations responsible for people’s eating choices, and what, if anything, should they do to reduce obesity?

Dive into the book’s structure, characters, themes, and symbolism.

1. Jastreboff and Winfrey co-authored this book. Was their narrative structure effective? Why or why not?

2. Jastreboff shares numerous anecdotes about patients from the Yale Y-Weight Clinic. What are the strengths and limitations of including personal anecdotes in a text like this? 

3. Analyze the rhetorical techniques that Jastreboff and Winfrey use in the text. How do they attempt to persuade or evoke emotion in the readers? How do these techniques impact the way the scientific and medical information is presented?

4. Compare and contrast Enough with one of Winfrey’s earlier books on weight loss, such as The Best Life Diet. How are the texts different or similar in their approaches to this topic? What key themes and ideas do they share?

Encourage imaginative and creative connections to the book.

1. If you could rewrite this book as a novel, what kind of story would it tell? Who would the characters be, and what choices would they make?

2. Create a mind map or collage representing Winfrey’s contributions to diet culture over the years. Make sure to explain the significance of each picture or note.

3. If this book were included in a documentary, would you want the documentary to promote Jastreboff’s understanding of obesity and obesity medications, or would you prefer that it present a different view? Why?
