"For nearly four decades, Geneen Roth has been a trusted and beloved voice, guiding women on how to give up dieting, end compulsive eating, and tune into their intuition. Her books have sold millions of copies and her workshops have months-long waiting lists. But only recently, after surviving a devastating breast cancer diagnosis and realizing that she or her mother might die before repairing the rift between them, Roth decided to face the reality that her relationship to her body and the food she eats are inextricably bound to her relationship with her mother. And, Roth discovered, this is true for almost every woman. For years, Roth has been telling women to listen to the intuitive voice inside themselves. But what if that voice is not theirs at all-what if it is the voice of their mothers? And what if, though it professes love, it's actually harmful? Determined to learn to distinguish between the intuition that is her own and the deeply-internalized prodding, often critical voice of her mother, Roth began working with a ninety year-old spiritual advisor named Coco. Blind, nearly deaf, and preternaturally empathetic, Coco helped Roth to untangle her sense of self from her mother's judgement. For the first time, Roth was able to separate what her mother had led her to believe about herself from her truer inner-knowing. Now, living from that deeper place, the things that once kept her stuck, haunted, compulsive, or uncomfortable are set free. In Mothers, Daughters, and Food, Roth reveals how our mothersinfluence our beliefs about ourselves. She walks readers through a specific process to help them untangle those thoughts and she provides a roadmap to a healthier emotional and physical place. Written in her signature style-funny, self-aware, spiritually-wise-Mothers, Daughters, and Food is a must-read for anyone seeking to heal their relationships with food, their families, and themselves"-- Provided by publisher. - Random House, Inc.
An illuminating inquiry into the complicated relationship between what we eat, what our mothers taught us, and what we believe about ourselvesâfrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Women Food and God
We see the world through our wounds, not as it really is. We see what we believe. Itâs like seeing the entire world drenched in yellow when weâre wearing yellow-tinted glasses. Freedom comes when we take the glasses off.
For nearly four decades, Geneen Roth has been a trusted voice guiding women to give up dieting and end compulsive eating. Her books have sold millions of copies, and her workshops have months-long waiting lists. But only recently, when she was diagnosed with cancer, did she begin to understand how deeply entwined her feelings about her body are with her relationship to her mother. And, she realized, this is true for almost every woman: the voice inside our heads, the voice we use to talk to ourselves, which criticizes the size of our thighs or the softness of our stomachsâthese are all-too-often the voices of our mothers.
Roth was determined to untangle her sense of self from her motherâs judgment. Working with a blind eighty-six-year-old wisewoman, Roth learned to distinguish between her motherâs influence and her own truer inner knowing. Roth began to see that it was not what her mother said or did that made her unhappy, but what Roth believed about herself because of what her mother said or did. For the first time, Roth began to understand how peace does not depend on external circumstancesâyou do not need to wait for someone else to changeâit relies only on what you yourself choose to believe.
Written in her signature styleâfunny, self-deprecating, soulfulâLove, Finally is Rothâs story of discovering the deeper awareness that set her free. This transformative, healing book is an essential roadmap for anyone who wants to repair their relationships with food, their families, and themselves.
