"Geneen Roth's early work pulled my sister out of the abyss of
eating disorders. My gratitude and admiration for Geneen has
deepened still with her newest book. In This Messy Magnificent
Life, we experience her signature divine wisdom and hilarious
humanity—but Geneen also gives us something new and important.
Here, Geneen shows us how our individual body and food obsessions
are directly linked to our collective oppression as women—and how
getting free from our personal prisons is crucial to seeking
liberation at every level. This is a beautiful, funny, deeply
relevant book -- a vital work for this moment."
*Glennon Doyle, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Love
Warrior and founder and president of Together Rising*

*Dani Shapiro, author of Hourglass and Devotion*

their most vibrant lives.”
*Mark Hyman, MD, author of the New York Times bestseller Eat Fat,
Get Thin*
“This Messy Magnificent Life delivers a brilliant, funny, and

generous, complicated gift that is Geneen Roth's imagination,
experience and soul, on a platter. 2018 will be made easier to

helped countless dieters do as the extreme yo-yo dieting author did
herself: Make peace with food — or at least call a truce.”
*NPR’s The Salt*

she knows when to add a touch of humor. She willingly shares her
own emotional baggage, and her advice is life-affirming.”
