Geneen Roth is one of my favourite authors whose work is always deeply personal, inspiring, informative and challenging. This is an excellent book in terms of content and production (it would make a lovely gift). One of my favourite passages is from p182 "Money is expensive--we pay for it with moments that will never come again--and then we toss those moments away as if they have nothing to do with us. ... [we flick our] money away as if what happens to it after it leaves [our] hands has no relation to what it cost[s us] to have it." Thank you, Geneen.

I think this book is really worth sticking with, because there are a lot of interesting insights. It's given me a lot of food for thought, especially about the reasons why people lose and regain the same weight all through their lives.
However it's a bit of a slog at first, because it's really hard to empathise with someone who gave £1million to Bernie Madoff. I'm sure she's made it back on book sales since, but the majority of us are facing real life cuts, especially at the moment, and couldn't dream of ever earning that sort of money if our lifetimes salary is added up. I don't feel sorry for any of Madoff's rich clients, and the bits of the book where she goes on about this were a bit difficult to stomach.
I don't mind that I've given her £10 (kindle edition..) towards her millions, that's fine, because she has helped me with her books, I just found it a bit painful to read about these poor rich people.
