Synopsis

Embraced by Oprah, the #1 New York Times bestselling guide that explains the connection between eating and emotion from Geneen Roth—noted authority on mindful eating.

No matter how sophisticated or wealthy or broke or enlightened you are, how you eat tells all.

After three decades of studying, teaching, and writing about our compulsions with food, bestselling author Geneen Roth adds a powerful new dimension to her work in Women Food and God. She begins with her most basic concept: the way you eat is inseparable from your core beliefs about being alive. Your relationship with food is an exact mirror of your feelings about love, fear, anger, meaning, transformation, and, yes, even God.

A timeless and seminal work, Women Food and God shows how going beyond the food and the feelings takes you deeper into realms of spirit and soul—to the bright center of your own life.

Catching up… In “Hungry Ghost” I shared that “my sister and I lived this experience, too.” In reference to having an eating disorder. I also said that, “Even as I enter into a new decade, it doesn’t mean that I still don’t struggle with body image issues. Did you think this was just a teenage thing?......more

As someone who has dealt with weight problems for many years, I have to say this book was actually very helpful. I had never read any diet books prior to Women Food and God and I was therefore hesitant to read it. At first, I thought it would be a waste of money, and that the book was based on diffe......more

Goodreads review by Katie on August 04, 2010

Upon finishing this book, my first thought was "meh." For a book that is dominating the New York Times bestseller list, I thought this was going to be a stellar read; unfortunately, this was not the case. I just couldn't bring myself to care about what Roth was saying. It's not that I didn't agree wi......more

I highly recommend this book to any woman who struggles with food while pursuing thinness. Do not get scared by the title; this book is not religious, and God is understood as a broad concept (the author herself is a Buddhist). The author explains how our relationship with food is deeply tied to how......more
