7. Book Review: Women Food and God (2014)

Wednesday, May 7, 2014


Synopsis
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. 

 Review
I originally read this book in 2011 and decided to revisit it after feeling down in the dumps this past winter about my body and my weight. I think all women go through phases like that with our bodies and I love that this book is there as a bolster to those negative thoughts and tough phases of life. This book is a fascinating look at spirituality, self love and food.  I love that the authors voice comes through as so sincere and original.  You can almost feel her next to you on the sofa as you read.  This is a quick read that I highly recommend.
