Women, Food, and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything by Geneen Roth

Women, Food, and God is the book Oprah wants every woman to read. The way you eat is inseparable from your core beliefs about being alive. No matter how sophisticated or wise or enlightened you believe you are, how you eat tells all. The world is on your plate. When you begin to understand what prompts you to use food as a way to numb or distract yourself, the process takes you deeper into realms of spirit and to the bright center of your own life. Rather than getting rid of, or instantly changing, your conflicted relationship with food, Women, Food, and God is about welcoming what is already here, and contacting the part of yourself that is already whole—divinity itself.
