About this listen
The number one New York Times best-selling author of Women Food and God maps a path to meeting one of our greatest challenges - how we deal with money.
When Geneen Roth and her husband lost their life savings in the Bernard Madoff debacle, 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 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. With irreverent humor and hard-won wisdom, she offers provocative and radical strategies for transforming how we feel and behave about the resources that should, and can, sustain and support our lives.

“Roth is courageous in her honesty.” (Michelle Singletary, The Washington Post)
“Roth teaches by example the transformative power of awareness. With compassion and humor she dismantles unconscious compulsions that bespeak an inner poverty, dissipating what she calls the ‘trance of deficiency’ that hijacks financial relationships and self-worth. Fans familiar with the heart and wisdom that infuses Roth's candid writing style and makes her books memorable won't be disappointed.” (Publisher's Weekly)
“Encourages stressed-out people to step back and look the good things they have - even such simple things as a treasured tea cup - to help liberate themselves from old patterns.” (Robin Mcmacken, Grand Rapid Press, Michigan)

I love Geneen Roth
Funny, wise, real and raw. A great book all round. Where we spend money is our power and we forget this simple truth so often, but we do actually have the power to change so much of the harm in the world simply by spending our money in a way that aligns with our values. Love her narration too.

Heartfelt and beautiful. Not too heavy considering the subject matter.
Geneen has a way with words. She can draw you in. The story should be upsetting and heavy, but it doesn’t feel overwhelming. Her insights are inspiring and definitely ring true for me. I’m devouring her books one by one and just can’t get enough.
My heart breaks with hers, both for her and for myself. But I know she’s doing well and so am I. In the end, it’s our own thoughts that shape our feelings and actions and she helped me understand this. I will revisit her books often. Thank you Geneen for your honesty and vulnerability. I didn’t understand until I met you through your books.
