Geneen Roth is an author whose pioneering books were among the first to link compulsive eating and perpetual dieting with deeply personal and spiritual issues that go far beyond food, weight, and body image. She believes that the way we eat reflects how we live, and that our relationship to food, money, and love is a direct reflection of our deepest beliefs about ourselves. These beliefs influence the amount of joy, abundance, pain, and scarcity we perceive in our lives.

Rather than pushing away the "crazy" things we do, Geneen's work proceeds with the conviction that our actions and beliefs make exquisite sense. She advocates that the transformation of our relationship with food begins with being open, curious, and kind to ourselves, instead of being punishing, impatient, and harsh.
