Geneen Roth

Author

For over thirty years, Geneen Roth has worked with hundreds of thousands of people, helping them transform difficult relationships with food and so much more. Her pioneering approach outlines the link between compulsive eating and perpetual dieting with deeply personal and spiritual issues that go far beyond food, weight and body image. She believes that we eat the way we live, and that our relationship to food, money, love is a reflection of our deepest held beliefs about ourselves and the amount of joy, abundance, pain, scarcity we believe we have (or are allowed to have) in our lives.

Rather than pushing away the "crazy" things we do, Geneen teaches that our actions and beliefs make exquisite sense, and that the way to transform our relationship with food is to be open, curious and kind with ourselves -- instead of punishing, impatient and harsh. Using meditation, inquiry, and a set of seven "if love could speak" guidelines, she offers a pathway to transforming our relationship to food … and so much more.

Geneen is the author of ten books, including her newest book, This Messy Magnificent Life, and the New York Times bestsellers Women Food and God,  Lost and Found, When Food Is Love and The Crazy Hole in My Heart and the Cat Who Fixed It. Geneen has appeared on many national television shows including: Super Soul Sunday, The Oprah Show, 20/20, The NBC Nightly News, The View, The Today Show, and Good Morning America. Articles about Geneen and her work have appeared in numerous publications including: O: The Oprah Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Time, Elle, The New York Times, and The Chicago TribuneShe lives in California with charms of hummingbirds; her husband Matt; and Izzy the fabulous, eating-disordered dog.
