Combine the utter inefficacy of dieting with the lack of spiritual nourishment and we have generations of mad, ravenous self-loathing women. So says Geneen Roth, in her life-changing new book, Women, Food and God. Since her 1991 bestseller, When Food Is Love, was published, Roth has taken the sum total of her experience and combined it with spirituality and psychology to explain women's true hunger. Roth's approach to eating is that it is the same as any addiction - an activity to avoid feeling emotions. From the first page, readers will be struck by the author's intelligence, humour and sensitivity, as she traces the path of overeating from its subtle beginnings through to its logical end. Whether the drug is booze or brownies, the problem is the same: opting out of life. She powerfully urges readers to pay attention to what they truly need - which cannot be found in a supermarket. She provides seven basic guidelines for eating (the most important is to never diet) and shares reassuring, practical advice that has helped thousands of women who have attended her highly successful seminars. Truly a thinking woman's guide to eating - and an anti-diet book - women everywhere will find insights and revelations on every page. About the AuthorGeneen Roth is the author of eight books, including the New York Times bestselling When Food is Love and The Craggy Hole in My Heart and the Cat Who Fixed It, a memoir. She has been teaching groundbreaking workshops and retreats for over thirty years. Roth is a contributor to many publications from Huffington Post and Good Housekeeping to O:The Oprah Magazine, and has appeared on numerous national shows including Oprah, 20/20, and Good Morning America.

I have read past books (Feeding the Hungry Heart) by Geneen Roth,this one is very comphrehensive, an anti-diet book, based on sound psychological and spiritual principles,and explains the thinking behing "compulsive eating", explains how diets set us up to fail,and how its "not about the food". Geneen discusses the importance of loving the self, self-acceptance, rather than self-loathing, (common in our diet-obsessed society)- but also examining the thinking behind compulsive and disordered eating, whetehr to fill an emptiness inside, lack of acceptance, and that changing ones relationshp with food starts with understanding ourselves, and self-image and self-acceptance.This book also examines why one has the desire to eat when we are not hungry, and the core beliefs/reasons behind this. A very interesting and thought-provoking book, also interesting and chatty; as Geneen states her own life expereinces, and examples from otehrs, about their own journey with food, beleifs, and self image.This insightful and wise book tells us how we can have the life, body we want,without punishing ourselves,I found it a very inspiring book.
