Feeding the Hungry Heart : The Experience of Compulsive Eating

This is how Geneen Roth remembers her time as an emotional overeater and self-starver. After years of struggle, Roth finally broke free from the destructive cycle of bingeing and purging. In the two decades since her triumph, she has gone on to help tens of thousands of others do the same through her lectures, workshops, and retreats. Those she has met during this time have shared stories that are both heartrending and inspiring, which Roth has gathered for this unique book. Twenty years after its original publication, Feeding the Hungry Heartcontinues to inspire women and men, helping them win the battle against a hunger that goes deeper than a need for food.

Geneen Roth is the bestselling author of Breaking Free from Compulsive Eating and When Food Is Love. She conducts workshops and retreats on issues of self-esteem, eating, diet, and intimacy.
