Lost and Found: Unexpected Revelations about Food and Money
by Geneen Roth
I've read many versions of the crazy-life/crazy-money story, but this one really struck home: partly because I have vast experience using substances to put distance between me and my feelings, and partly because a lady who admits to working through her food issues only to have them show up in her money life—and via the Bernie Madoff débâcle, no less—is someone whose experience is going to be hella illuminating.
The book is a deeper exploration of the Aha! Moment™ around money/food issues Roth wrote about in this Salon piece. Anne Lamott helped her place the piece, which is a good enough imprimatur for me. There is nothing new about this message that what we don't deal with will keep showing up in different forms until we do, but that's what makes this book such a good read—that, and the honesty with which Roth shares her story.
