Embraced by Oprah, the #1 New York Times bestselling guide that Anne Lamott called “a hugely important work,” explains the connection between eating and emotion from Geneen Roth, noted authority on mindful eating—now available at a great value.

If you suffer with your relationship with food—you eat too much or too little, think about what you will eat constantly or try not to think about it at all—you can be free. Just look down at your plate. The answers are there. Don’t run. Look. Because when we welcome what we most want to avoid, we contact the part of ourselves that is fresh and alive. We touch the life we truly want and evoke divinity itself.

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. 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. She shows how going beyond both the food and feelings takes you deeper into realms of spirit and soul to the bright center of your own life, and reveals how your relationship with food is the doorway to freedom and what you want most: the demystification of weight loss, and the luminous presence that so many of us call “God.”

First published in 2011 and soaring to popularity after TV and radio features with Oprah, Women Food and God feels just as relevant and transcendent as ever. A knock-your-socks-off ride to a deeply fulfilling relationship with food, your body, and almost everything else, Women Food and God is “a life-changer, one that will free untold women from the tyranny of fear and hopelessness around their bodies,” (Anne Lamott) and most simply, a guide for life.

Listener Opinions

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Laura Hayes cruz | 2/4/2014

    " Mmmmm...a lot of stuff I've heard before. Yes, I know I don't always eat because I'm truly hungry. Who does? "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Katieosborn | 1/17/2014

    " I really enjoyed this book, and I'm not really a fan of self-help books. This book really opened my eyes to some of the compulsions and obsessions that people (particularly women) have with food. I would recommend this book to any women. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Laura Lee | 1/15/2014

    " This was the first time someone, or anything, understood my obsessions and compulsions with food. While some of the text did make me squirm, the author, for me, touched a place that no therapist has ever been able to. I keep this book on my kindle and read a few passages each day. For the past several weeks my thought patterns about food have shifted and I remain hopeful. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Gina | 1/8/2014

    " This book was amazing. I finished it in two days, with lots of journaling and thinking and tears shed in between. Roth is able to put into words things I have known about myself, but was never quite able to articulate. She was a yo-yo dieter for her whole life, and learned how to embrace food and her body in a way that has allowed her to help hundreds of women to do the same thing. I highly recommend this book for anyone with food and/or body image issues. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Lindsay | 1/6/2014

    " Took me a year to read half the book and 10 minutes to skim the rest. Relatively uninteresting and, frankly, totally self involved. Glad it's over!! "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Becca | 12/29/2013

    " This book is the voice for the struggle I go through every day! I'm finally realizing that there isn't a magic pill or diet. Instead I need to look inwards. Great for anyone dealing with eating, weight, or just self-esteem. Whether you agree with her or not, I know you'll find it thought provoking. "

    " Great for anyone with emotional eating problems, which for most women, is what their issue with food usually is. It sounds cheesey, but I love how Geneen Roth's main message is just to love yourself, give yourself a break, take care of yourself by listening to what you need. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Marcia Call | 6/9/2012

    " Picked this book up because it's on the NYT bestseller list. What a surprise and a book that is useful if you want to get ahead of any compulsion, bad habit in your life. The rules for eating at the end are easily substituted with the name of your favorite disfunction. Easy read -- not preachy! "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Lindsey | 5/17/2012

    " An interesting perspective, and probably right. Compulsive eating really is a symptom of everything else and not really the root problem in and of itself. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Marilyn Clay | 5/15/2012

    " A lot of mumbo jumbo. Started out OK, but became unrealistic and preachy./ "

    " awesome, great, very deep, very true! "

    " I've read all of Geneen Roth's books and really like her philosophy. This short book was a restatement of such, but with more god this time. Because it didn't include a magic pill to fix everything, I guess I'll have to start following her advice. Again. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Penny | 5/22/2011

    " Though there is nothing new in this book - from her other books -- I still liked the reminder about eating (or any addictive/obsessive/ciompulisve behavior) -- and how it is a cover-up for actual feelings which you don't want to face. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Becca | 5/18/2011

    " This book is the voice for the struggle I go through every day! I'm finally realizing that there isn't a magic pill or diet. Instead I need to look inwards.

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Lindsey | 5/11/2011

    " Some stuff in here really hit home, but I just felt like the book was randomly put together. I wouldn't even know how to begin to go about applying this system to my life. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Kristi | 4/22/2011

    " Not quite what I thought it was going to be, but not necessarily horrible either. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Erin | 4/17/2011

    " Geneen Roth is starting to outdo herself, guys. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Julie | 4/17/2011

    " The title sounds interesting, but the books is really just about compulsive eating and self-help. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 elizabeth | 4/14/2011

    " Replace "food" with a different addiction/obsession and presto! this book could apply to anyone. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Sarah | 4/12/2011

    " Wow! I have been talking to everyone about the concepts in this book. For me it wasn't really about women, food or God---it was about why we eat when we are not hungry. And the answer to that question was pretty revolutionary and throws out most traditional dieting "norms". "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Terri | 4/11/2011

    " This book had a lot of strong points but I wanted more. I enjoyed it well enough that I will be reading other works Geneen Roth has written. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Dee | 4/10/2011

    " If you actually read past the first 70 something pages, you'll start to get some good stuff. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Gloria | 4/10/2011

    " It's like most self help books. Embrace yourself. Don't eat while distracted. Boom, that is the gist of it. "
