Cheap Geneen Roth Book Deals

Excellent set of CD's. I worked with Ms. Roth's books when they first came out many years ago, and I found them extremely helpful in dealing with my eating/weight issues. Her approach has matured and become even better since that time.

I first came across Geneen Roth's books in the early 1990s, as a college student. I'd gone away for school and gained sixty pounds. Deep down, I knew that I had a problem with food, and it wasn't something I could solve on my own. My problem was as serious as that of an alcoholic or drug addict, and food was my drug of choice. When I read Feeding the Hungry Heart, I learned for the first time that I wasn't alone, that I wasn't a freak, that other people, mostly women, had felt the same way I felt. And most importantly, that they'd come through the experience and found a way to be healthy with food. If you suspect that you have a problem with food, try reading this book. Don't expect to find diets or even suggestions for overcoming the problem. If you view your overeating as an addiction, this book is really the first step to recovery. Use it to help yourself admit that you're addicted to food, and then move on to Roth's other books, especially When Food Is Love and Breaking Free from Emotional Eating. They'll help you get a better sense of specific steps you can take. I did what I'm recommending ten years ago, and over several years, I overcame my obsession with food and lost the sixty pounds I'd gained. I didn't do it by dieting or restricting myself from eating anything. And it didn't happen quickly. I'm also fully aware that my relationship to food is just like an addict's relationship to alcohol. It doesn't go away. In fact, in stressful periods of my life, I've turned to…

Even if you aren't a compulsive eater, this book offers great insight into the world of addiction. It focuses on why we substitute food (or anything else) for love in your lives and examines events from our childhood as the reason for this inability to receive love from others. A great read, educational yet contains stories from the author's life, and others she has met, which keep it moving.

One could claim that this book doesn't provide any "new" information in the area of dealing with "disordered eating," as I like to call it. For me, that is a relief. I have read dozens--literally--of books on dealing with emotional eating, binge eating disorder, intuitive eating, etc. and feel that there is only so much information that is out there. What I felt was that each book was only part of the puzzle. Intuitive Eating gave me the idea of eating from hunger only but did not teach me how to get there. Binge-Eating treatment plans focused on developing regular eating patterns but failed to deal with the emotional side. Emotional eating books were the most helpful, but I always felt like I was missing a clear step by step program. And so I would jump back and forth from book to book, sometimes feeling like I would have to use them simultaneously to get any real benefit, and this would become very overwhelming and eventually lead to just quitting the attempt. I have NEVER before seen a book like "Normal Eating for Normal Weight" that so perfectly integrates all the most salient points of treatment for someone with disordered eating. It combines the ideas of eating only from hunger, stopping emotional eating, cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, and making good nutritional choices in a revolutionary way that results in a fabulous, easy to understand, comprehensive program. You are told HOW to get to the point of being able to eat mostly healthy…

"The Skinny Thinking Workbook" is full of tools that will help you change how you relate to food. A workbook like this, with daily support and exercises, is just what's needed to chip away at old habits around food and replace them with new habits. Laura has put a lot of thought into devising questions and explorations that will help you understand how you create an unhappy experience around food and how you can create a happier and healthier one instead. Her tone is that of a friendly, supportive, and understanding guide who's "been there," a buddy in your growth toward greater freedom and health in regard to food. I love how practical and personal this workbook is. I'm sure you will find it valuable in many ways. I highly recommend it and her book "Skinny Thinking" to anyone struggling with food and their weight.

...so simple, so brilliant, and so effective. For all those who suffer from this compulsion, that few can understand, and that comes with so much pain, loneliness, shame and agony....please consider this book. It's hard to believe you can ever stop binging....but you can and go on to enjoy eating whatever you want....because you'll never want to binge again! With the help of this book, I kicked the habit 15 years ago and I've never had a problem since. Never. Good luck everyone!

I studied this book in a small group setting, lead by Paula herself! This book caused me to address so many more personal issues beyond just my weight/dieting issues. It allowed me to get in touch with many suppressed emotions and everything is addressed through the light of scripture. Anyone who is ready to be honest with themself will profit by this study.

Seems like I've tried every diet ever conceived! I rarely find new ideas, but this book is full of them! Some positive life changes happened immediately after listening to the audio book version, some happened more subtly later. I wish all of Geneen's books were available via audio book because my "me time" usually occurs during my long daily commute.

As a long-time fan of Roth's, as a recovered chronic dieter and binge-eater, and as someone writing, counseling and teaching in the same field, I wondered she could say that she hadn't said before. The answer is not so much about brilliant new material as it is her way of pulling it altogether and writing with such clarity, humor, and beautiful language. Roth is wise, no doubt about it. Her wisdom comes from working through her own struggles with food (and life) and from experiential study of what makes for health and happiness. As a secular-leaning person, my one fear about the book was that it was going to be about spirituality or religion. It isn't. It is about finding and loving the best in yourself. Whether you're an overeater, undereater or yo-yo back in forth, you will be moved and changed by reading this book. Karen R. Koenig, LCSW, M.Ed. The Rules of "Normal" Eating: A Commonsense Approach for Dieters, Overeaters, Undereaters, Emotional Eaters, and Everyone in Between!, Nice Girls Finish Fat: Put Yourself First and Change Your Eating Forever, The Food and Feelings Workbook: A Full Course Meal on Emotional Health, What Every Therapist Needs to Know about Treating Eating and Weight Issues

I hate giving any book less than a 5 star rating, but I must be honest, this book was not what I needed. I am not saying that it is not for you! It is mainly an autobiographical account of the author's difficult childhood and trouble with intimacy due to growing up with an abusive mother. There is a little bit here and there about compulsive eating, but mainly with the philosophy that there is no other reason a person compulsively over eats than having had something very traumatic happen to them at the time they began compulsively overeating or having a bad childhood. Her philosophy is that it is very important to review all the old stuff, and talk about it and relive it and explore it and analyze it. I know this is a popular mode of thinking, but having grown up in an abusive home myself,and spending years in therapy I realized that enough was enough already. It happened. Life can go on. You don't have to be a mess forever because of it. Or stay stuck in old wounds. I did find her vulnerability and openess touching, and if these are the philosophies you hold, then this may be the book for you. It just wasn't for me.

A beautifully written account of poignant, deep feelings..Anyone who has ever experienced the sorrow of loss will understand the depth and honesty of this book...the book has it all....humor, love, the reality of life. Roth's writing is fluid, easy to read and reaches down to your very soul.

Everyone should read this book! And on tape, read by the author it is even better, except for the part where you want to underline a passage because it is so moving, or touching, or enlightening!

I can't say enough good things about Geneen Roth. She has lived it and proven it works. I have been listening to this CD over and over in my car. I learn something new each time I listen. It is a great companion to When Food is Love.

I've had this book a couple years now and I must say it's what I always go back to when diets disappoint me. It really tells it like it is and I'm planning to buy more books by Geneen as soon as I can. If anything this book at the very least puts things into perspective. A lot of it is "obvious" but then again are things we all tend to forget or not realize. I will keep this book on my bedside table forever!

This is an excellent audio series! Gives a new outlook on eating. It is worth every dollar!
