Geneen Roth Libros

"Liberarse de la obsesión por la comida es posible y no significa privaciones, culpa ni dietas. Si la comida es un sustituto del amor, dejar de alimentar al niño maltratado o al adulto solitario significa nutrir el amor y dar lugar a la intimidad liberando el dolor de la vida pasada e instalándonos definitivamente en el presente. Cuando la comida sustituye al amor también relata la experiencia personal de la autora en su lucha por superar el miedo a la intimidad. En un estilo que escapa tanto del psicologismo como del análisis dietético, nos enseña cómo la comida puede llegar a ser una fuente de placer y de alegría."--Cubierta.

"This messy magnificent life is a personal and exhilarating read on freeing ourselves from daily anxiety, lack, and discontent. It's a deep dive into what lies behind our self-criticism, whether is is about the size of our thighs, the expression of our thoughts, or the shape of our ambitions. And it's about stopping the search to fix ourselves by realizing that on the other side of the "Me Project" is spaciousness, peace, and the capacity to reclaim one's power and joy"--Back cover

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Women Food and God “A life-changing book.”—Oprah In this moving and intimate book, Geneen Roth, bestselling author of Feeding the Hungry Heart and Breaking Free from Compulsive Eating, shows how dieting and emotional eating often become a substitute for intimacy. Drawing on her own painful personal experiences, as well as the candid stories of those she has helped in her seminars, Roth examines the crucial issues that surround emotional eating: need for control, dependency on melodrama, desire for what is forbidden, and the belief that one wrong move can mean catastrophe. She shows why many people overeat in an attempt to satisfy their emotional hunger, and why weight loss frequently just uncovers a new set of problems. But her welcome message is that change is possible. This book will help readers break destructive, self-perpetuating patterns and learn to satisfy all the hungers—physical and emotional—that make us human.

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.

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.

Truly a thinking woman's guide to eating - and an anti-diet book - women everywhere will find insights and revelations on every page.
