THIS MESSY MAGNIFICENT LIFE

Geneen Roth, author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller Women Food and God, explains how to take the journey to find one's own best self in this empowering collection of personal reflections.

Geneen Roth had it all -- a #1 bestseller, a devoted loving husband, money, and the slim figure that had eluded her for many years.
But she wasn't happy.

THIS MESSY MAGNIFICENT LIFE explains Geneen's journey from then to now:
She's happy, confident, she's "perfect," and she knows she can get better. This book explains how others -- rich, poor, successful, floundering -- can take the journey to find their own best selves.

Geneen's message is clear and empowering. Her stories are funny and honest. Readers will learn from her triumphs and her failures, share her anxieties and fears, and watch as she comes to understand and accept herself.

Rather than pushing away the "crazy" things we do, Geneen embraces everyone's unique potential. She explores how to be open, curious, and kind with ourselves, rather than harsh and impatient, how to overcome past traumas and anxieties, how to pick up after setbacks, and how to find joy in the ordinary.


Geneen Roth is the author of ten books, including the New York Times bestsellers When Food Is Love, Lost and Found, and Women Food and God, as well as The Craggy Hole in My Heart and the Cat Who Fixed It. She has been teaching groundbreaking workshops and retreats for over thirty years and has appeared on numerous national shows, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, 20/20, the Today show, Good Morning America, and The View. She lives in California with exaltations of hummingbirds, her husband, and Izzy the fabulous, eating-disordered dog.
