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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThis Messy Magnificent Life\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eThis Messy Magnificent Life\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoth, Geneen:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Geneen Roth is the author of ten books, including the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003eWhen Food Is Love\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLost and Found\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWomen Food and God\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eThe Craggy Hole in My Heart and the Cat Who Fixed It\u003c\/i\u003e.
