about the author
Geneen Roth
Author of Lost and Found: Unexpected Revelations about Food and Money
Geneen Roth’s 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 we eat the way we live, and that our relationship to food, money, and love is an exact reflection of our deepest held beliefs about ourselves and the amount of joy, abundance, pain, and scarcity we believe we have (or are allowed) to have 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, and that the way to transform our relationship with food is to be open, curious, and kind with ourselves—instead of punishing, impatient, and harsh. In the past thirty years, she has worked with hundreds of thousands of people using meditation, inquiry, and a set of seven eating guidelines that are the foundation of natural eating.
Geneen has appeared on many national television shows including: The Oprah Show, 20/20, NBC Nightly News, The View, and Good Morning America. Articles about Geneen and her work have appeared in numerous publications, including O: The Oprah Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Time, Elle, The New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. She has written monthly columns in Good Housekeeping and Prevention. Geneen is the author of eight books, including the New York Times bestsellers When Food Is Love: Exploring the Relationship Between Eating and Intimacy and Women, Food, and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything. Her newest book, published in March 2011, is Lost and Found: Unexpected Revelations about Food and Money.
