Geneen Roth Boeken

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Women Food and God “A life-changing book.”—Oprah In this moving and intimate book, Geneen Roth, bestselling author of Feeding the Hungry Heart and Breaking Free from Compulsive Eating, shows how dieting and emotional eating often become a substitute for intimacy. Drawing on her own painful personal experiences, as well as the candid stories of those she has helped in her seminars, Roth examines the crucial issues that surround emotional eating: need for control, dependency on melodrama, desire for what is forbidden, and the belief that one wrong move can mean catastrophe. She shows why many people overeat in an attempt to satisfy their emotional hunger, and why weight loss frequently just uncovers a new set of problems. But her welcome message is that change is possible. This book will help readers break destructive, self-perpetuating patterns and learn to satisfy all the hungers—physical and emotional—that make us human.

Millions of us are locked into an unwinnable weight game. Combine the inefficacy of dieting with the lack of spiritual nourishment and we have generations of mad, self-loathing women. Readers will be struck by the author's intelligence, sensitivity, and humour as she traces the path of overeating.

Geneen Rothová tridsať rokov študovala príčiny prejedania sa, učila a písala o ňom. Začína kľúčovou tézou: spôsob jedenia nemožno oddeliť od základných životných presvedčení človeka. Autorka nalieha, aby sme si všímali, čo skutočne potrebujeme a čo nájdeme v supermarkete. Predstavuje sedem základných zásad jedenia a prináša praktické rady, ktoré pomohli tisíckam žien. V závere hovorí o jedle ako o bráne k slobode a k tomu, po čom túžime najviac: o tajomstve chudnutia a žiarivej prítomnosti, ktorú mnohí nazývajú „bohom“. Ak vo vzťahu k jedlu trpíte (jete priveľa alebo primálo, neustále na jedlo myslíte alebo sa snažíte vôbec naň nemyslieť), môžete sa oslobodiť. Stačí sa pozrieť do taniera. Odpoveď je v ňom. Neutekajte. Dívajte sa. Lebo keď privítame to, čomu sa najviac chceme vyhnúť, dotkneme sa niečoho vo svojom vnútri, čo je svieže a živé. Dotkneme sa života, ktorý naozaj chceme. Táto knižka je úprimný ponor do hlbokého a napĺňajúceho vzťahu s jedlom, vlastným telom... a takmer všetkým ostatným. Jednoducho povedané, kniha Ženy, jedlo a Boh je návodom, ako žiť.

Fühle dich selbst … und iss, was du willst! »Wenn wir Schokoriegel in uns hineinschieben, obwohl wir keinen Hunger haben, offenbaren wir ein ganzes Universum aus Hoffnung oder Hoffnungslosigkeit, Glaube oder Zweifel, Liebe oder Angst.« Im Verlauf ihrer eigenen lebenslangen Liebes- und Kriegsbeziehung zum Essen nahm Geneen Roth mehr als 1000 Pfund zu und wieder ab, war über- und untergewichtig, kämpfte mit Scham und Selbsthass. Dann aber tat die Autorin einen radikalen Schritt: Sie beendete den Kampf, gab die Kontrolle auf, hörte auf, sich zu drangsalieren. Und begann stattdessen, ihrem Körper zu trauen und ihre Gefühle zu erforschen. Es funktionierte. In diesem Buch, das sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit in den USA millionenfach verkauft hat, stellt sie das Konzept vor, das uns endgültig aus dem Teufelskreis von zwanghaftem Essen und Diäten befreit: Die Art, wie wir essen, spiegelt exakt unsere Gefühlswelt der Liebe, Furcht oder Wut wider. Sie ist untrennbar mit unseren tiefsten Überzeugungen über das Leben, den Sinn und – ja, sogar über Gott – verbunden. Wenn wir herausfinden, was sich hinter unserem unstillbaren Hunger wirklich verbirgt, können wir unsere Beziehung zum Essen nutzen, um echte Erfüllung zu finden. Ein Buch von lebensverändernder Kraft.
