Geneen Roth is an international treasure, and her new book is a gift to us all." -- Gay Hendricks, Ph.D. author of "Five Wishes" and "Conscious Loving""Geneen Roth does it again! Women Food and God is absolutely mesmerizing. It maps the journey from the darkness of obsession to the pure sense of being in prose so insightful and astonishing it left me breathless. And loaded with insights which can change your life." --Chistiane Northrup, MD, ob/gyn physician and author of "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom" and "The Wisdom of Menopause""This is a hugely important work, a life-changer, one that will free untold women from the tyranny of fear and hopelessness around
Your relationship with food is an exact mirror of your feelings about love, fear, anger, meaning, transformation and, yes, even God. The answers are there. Don’t run. Just look down at your plate. Look. Now, after three decades of studying, teaching and writing about what drives our compulsions with food, Geneen Roth adds a profound new dimension to her work in Women Food and God. Because when we welcome what we most want to avoid, we contact the part of ourselves that is fresh and alive. She begins with her most basic concept: The way you eat is inseparable from your core beliefs about being alive. No matter how sophisticated or wealthy or broke or enlightened you are, how you eat tells all. If you suffer abou

Deal with the hole in the soul, and heal it Bookworm 93103 This book is not a "diet book."

She describes the food retreats she runs and the women who attend them, and as a reader you will surely identify in some way with every single person--and with the lesson she illustrates from their lives. Th. "But I love it. It's a slow read because you need" according to L.V.. There are no words to describe my gratitude for this woman and the work she has so lovingly, courageously done to mark the path for all of us who struggle with our relationship to food and seek to heal it. I'm puzzled by anything less than a 5 star review. All I can say is that this book is where you go when you want to delve deeper into the WHY of it all when you are curious or willing to be curious about yourself. Perhaps that level of introspection is not for everyone. But I love it. It's a slow read
