Summary: 50 practical ways to "Be Here Now"
Review: I just came from Geneen's seminar an hour ago, and I had to say that the woman, the seminar, the books, just really offer support in living authentically within your body, within your own life. I'm giving this book as a gift, and plan to stock up. What a blessing.

Summary: A book that really makes sense
Review: I just finished burning my "chart" of inches and weight I've kept for the past year and a half. Then I dumped all my protein drinks down the garbage disposal. I feel great. I feel like I have arrived at where I kept thinking I was going. Geneen Roth has written the best book ever on dealing with food. Anyone who has ever had any food issue at all should read this book.

Summary: Excellent Book - just one very small criticism
Review: I just finished reading it and I can't believe it has taken me so long to hear about it. This was the best book ever written on this subject. I feel wonderful and can't imagine how I made it so long without this most basic information. I finally have permission to be who I am and not feel depressed because I don't look like a fashion model. I can't wait to read another of Geneen's books. God bless you for making me feel like a human being again.

Review: I love this practical, inspiring, kind book. It contains wonderful advice. If everybody had a copy, the diet industry would be put out of business. Something that works and expands your world.

Summary: For Me, a Gentle Introduction to a Productive New Approach
Review: I picked this book up because its title made me laugh - such an outrageous idea. It's quick, easy, scannable, and full of nuggets that helped me begin to approach my problems with dieting and self-care with love and humor. Helped me see that bashing myself, trying to FORCE myself to follow a diet (Atkins, Weight Watchers, whatever) wasn't working for a very good reason. Several excellent reasons. And it sparked a journey of gentle self-inquiry that's proven quite fruitful.But if it hadn't been a slender volume with a sense of humor, I would have resisted the messages it contains. This book helped me begin to find answers to these questions: Why can't I stick to a diet, since being thin is what I want most? Why do I always come last in my family hierarchy of need (that, incidentally, I'm in control of, hello)? Am I just doomed to remain fat because of my genes, or my unhappiness? Both? What's the relationship between self-esteem and my weight? What does being thin represent to me? On the strength of this book, I attended a Roth seminar, and that experience is speeding me along, with insights and growth coming thick and fast. So, if you're ready for something newer and deeper than the latest tips and tricks, or another set of rules, but not quite sold on your own ability to make *anything* work - give this a try. It might be just what you need now.

Summary: This book could be your portable best friend.
Review: I purchased this book and read it in one sitting. There were times when I so recognized myself among its pages that my throat would tighten with unshed tears. People, and women in particular, so often have negative images of their bodies, and food obsessions that are not as clearly marked as bulemia or anorexia. This book will teach you how to look differently at your body and begin to love it, no matter WHAT size it is. I plan to carry this book wherever I go, and when I am tempted to mentally flog myself for any number of reasons, I will whip it out for a conference with my "portable best friend." I highly recommend it.

Summary: This book is insightful, charming and important.
Review: I think that this is Geneen Roth's best book so far. Its easy to read, loaded with unique insight, and very entertaining. People with any type of self esteem problem will find value in this one weather you have an eating disorder or not.
