About this listen
Inspiring, personal, and often spiritual reflections on how women can find peace, make wise choices, practice joy, and step into their power from Geneen Roth - author of the number one New York Times best-selling Women Food and God.
From the beginning, Geneen Roth was told she was too sensitive, too emotional, too curious, too demanding, too intense, and too big. Yet gaining and losing weight for decades did not improve her self-worth or reduce other people's criticisms. Like most women who struggle with their weight, she believed that if she could resolve what seemed to be the source of her self-hatred - how and what she ate - she would be thin, happy, and free. That belief, she discovered, was false.
When her misery with food ended - and didn't change anything except the size of her thighs - she kept trying to fix other broken parts of herself with therapy, intensive meditation retreats, and rigorous spiritual practices. Yet it was only when Geneen stopped trying to change or fix herself that she was at last able to feel at home in her mind, body, and life. Now, she shares the wisdom of giving up this project and finding the freedom, peace, and wholeness that await us just beyond it.
With humor, compassion, and insight, This Messy Magnificent Life explores the personal beliefs, hidden traumas, and social pressures that shape not just women's feelings about their bodies but also their confidence, choices, and relationships. This provocative, enchanting, and sometimes laugh-out-loud look at the imperfect path women take to step into their own power, presence, and ownership is based on the author's personal journey and her decades of work with thousands of women around the country.
Roth embraces everyone's unique and often unsung potential and shows us how to be open, curious, and kind with ourselves; how to say no to people and ideas that hold us back; how to let go of grudges and anxieties; how to pick ourselves up after setbacks; how to say a resounding yes to the world; how to move from fixing ourselves to finding ourselves; how to find joy in the ordinary; and how to experience the extraordinary right here and now in our bodies.
With a foreword by Anne Lamott, This Messy Magnificent Life is a compelling and often quirky look at what it means to be an imperfect but unapologetic woman living a (mostly) magnificent life.

Moving and useful book
Geneen has a way of speaking straight to you heart. She's raw, honest, hilarious, and straight up real. She makes you feel less alone and less hypercritical of yourself. This is a short book, but a powerful one. If you're a woman who has ever felt obsessed by her weight, struggled with disordered eating, or felt like you're not enough, please check this out--you won't regret it. I've recommended this author to multiple people, and hearing the audible version narrated by the author is always a special treat.

I was sorry when it ended!
Geneen Roth’s “radical truth telling” is powerful, endearing, and inspirational! I loved all of her stories and insights and I was so sad when the book ended because I felt like a good friend was leaving after a long overdue visit. Thank you once again, Geneen, for sharing your wisdom, humor, and blue vest with all of us!

To me messy means delicious!
I totally enjoyed this book. It had even more impact hearing it in the author's own voice. Highly recommend being in the moment and soaking it all in!
