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 “beautiful, funny, deeply relevant” (Glennon Doyle) collection of personal reflections.With an introduction by Anne Lamott, This Messy Magnificent Life is a personal and exhilarating read on freeing ourselves from daily anxiety, lack, and discontent. It’s a deep dive into what lies behind our self-criticism, whether it is about the size of our thighs, the expression of our thoughts, or the shape of our ambitions. And it’s about stopping the search to fix ourselves by realizing that on the other side of the “Me Project” is spaciousness, peace, and the capacity to reclaim one’s power and joy. 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. After years of teaching retreats and workshops on weight, money, and other obsessions, Roth realized that there was a connection that held her students captive in their unhappiness. With laugh-out-loud humor, compassion, and dead-on insight she reveals the paradoxes in our beliefs and shows how to move beyond our past to build lives that reflect our singularity and inherent power. This Messy Magnificent Life is a brilliant, bravura meditation on who we take ourselves to be, what enough means in our gotta-get-more culture, and being at home in our minds and bodies.
This book is full of the wisdom, humor, stories, and a pathway to one's heart, soul, purpose, body, and everything that matters about being here on earth that Geneen provides to her readers. What makes This Messy Magnificent Life extra special, however, it that it feels like a synthesis of all that Geneen knows. It's so wise. It's so relevant. It's intersectional in that the Geneen addresses food, yes, but this book moves beyond food to the spiritual and to every aspects of one's life. There is not a woman in my life that would not benefit from reading this book---though, I believe men and people of all genders would greatly benefit as well. During this time time of #metoo and addressing the patriarchy and misogyny in the United States, I can't think of a more relevant book that can help all of us to contribute to the change that is clearly on its way.
