Lost and Found: Unexpected Revelations About Food and Money
Geneen Roth’s new book will be released on March 22. I pre-ordered mine on Amazon yesterday. You may recall that Geneen was one of Bernie Madoff’s victims, but instead of playing the victim role, Geneen took a serious look at her situation, what got her there and did what she always does – started looking into the depths of her psyche and behavior to understand herself better.
As she was exploring her patterns an beliefs, she managed to release her best selling book to date: Women,Food & God. The book took off like a rocket, hopefully helping her to reverse some of her financial misfortune.
I’ve been looking forward to her new book ever since she told me she was writing it about a year ago. Here’s what the publisher says about Lost and Found: Unexpected Revelations About Food and Money:
When Geneen Roth and her husband lost their life savings, Roth joined the millions of Americans dealing with financial turbulence, uncertainty, and abrupt reversals in their expectations. The resulting shock was the catalyst for her to explore, in workshops and in her own life, how women’s habits and behaviors around money-as with food-can lead to exactly the situations they most want to avoid. Roth identified her own unconscious choices-binge shopping followed by periods of budgetary self-deprivation, “treating” herself in ways that ultimately failed to sustain, and using money as a substitute for love-among others. As she examined the deep sources of these habits, she faced the hard truth about where her “self-protective” financial decisions had led. As in all her books, Roth relates her personal experience with irreverent humor and hard- won wisdom. Here, she offers provocative and radical strategies for transforming how we feel and behave about the resources that should, and ultimately can, sustain and support our lives.
I think Geneen Roth is taking her work and writing to a whole new level.
