In her first New York Times bestseller, When Food Is Love, Geneen Roth gave huge numbers of women their first insights into compulsive eating and changed countless lives for the better. Now, after more than three decades of studying, teaching, and writing about what drives our compulsions with food, Geneen adds a profound new dimension to her work in Women Food and God .

With insight and humor, Geneen Roth demonstrates that the way you eat is inseparable from your core beliefs about being alive. In a culture where notions of success and happiness have become skewed, where obesity has taken over a disproportionate percentage of the American populace, we need to examine and face those beliefs if we are to end the battle with our bodies. “Your relationship to food is an exact mirror of your feelings about love, fear, anger, meaning, transformation, and yes, even God.”

Packed with revelations on every page, Women Food and God is a knock-your-socks-off ride to a deeply fulfilling relationship with food, your body…and almost everything else. It is, quite simply, a guide for life.
