Simon & Schuster Audio to Release Original Audiobook From #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Geneen Roth

NEW YORK, July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Geneen Roth, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of WOMEN FOOD AND GOD, offers her groundbreaking method for understanding our relationship with food and utilizing it for optimum health and emotional well-being in an exclusive, audio-only program, TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE: Ending Your Obsession With Food.

Drawing from live recordings of her most popular lectures and workshops, Roth eloquently and compassionately addresses the underlying causes of emotional eating patterns—and the process of turning what many of us consider to be our worst problem into our greatest opportunity.  "We're confident that listeners will embrace the lessons in TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE," said Chris Lynch, Executive Vice President and Publisher of Simon & Schuster Audio, "And we are thrilled that Geneen Roth is speaking to her audience through an original audio program."

In TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE, Roth introduces the principles of her revolutionary method for understanding our relationship with food including:

• The seven Eating Guidelines, with glimpses of the profound changes that come when we follow them
• The Inquiry process, during which we learn how to actually feel our feelings instead of numbing them with food
• Deeply revealing visualizations to help us drop below the continual chatter of our busy minds to a direct experience of presence and clarity

Unavailable in print form, TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE can serve as both a powerful introduction to Geneen Roth's life-changing ideas or as a practical complement to her bestselling books Women Food and God and Lost and Found.
