Summary

From the internationally acclaimed author of Feeding the Hungry Heart, Breaking Free From Compulsive Eating, and Why Weight? comes a wholly original look at the profound connections between the way we eat and the way we love.

When Food Is Love examines the motivations behind bingeing and obsessive dieting, and explains how such compulsive behavior sabotages intimate relationships. With compassion and penetrating wisdom, Geneen Roth reveals how to break destructive emotional patterns and learn to satisfy all the hungers, physical and emotional - that make us human.

Good concepts

Definitely gives some food for thought. Good concepts linking food uses to feelings and childhood.

Short and sweet, hit the nail on the head!

Geneen talks as if she knows you....she knows your life story. She explains the issue of using food as love perfectly. I will listen again to write down some valuable quotes of hers.

Absolutely worthy

A fantastic way to get to know what is behind eating behaviours! I heard it more than once. So much to take. Thank you

A professional voice actor should have been used

It was very hard for me to listen to this and gain any knowledge. The author herself narrates this and her voice is slow and drawn out. I was frequently annoyed by her tone and rhythm and it completely pulled me away from the actual message of this audio book. I've read other books of hers and had no problems following them. there's a lot of good stuff here if you can get past the voice.
