Geneen Roth: No Situation Is Unworkable
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
Tami Simon speaks with Geneen Roth, author of the best-seller Feeding the Hungry Heart and the Sounds True audio learning course When Food Is Food and Love Is Love. We discuss the spiritual lessons which resulted from Geneen’s financial losses with disgraced investment advisor Bernie Madoff, and how this experience caused her to re-examine many of her long-held beliefs about money, loss, and the preciousness of this moment.

Interviews with leading spiritual teachers and writers about their latest challenges—the "leading edge" of their work.













Thanks for making me aware of Tami’s podcast interviews. Each of them are priceless in my opinion. How much you are contributing to the evolution of mankind . . . and toward the better I might add.
We are ALL so vulnerable yet never need be victims for very long. Every situation is workable, indeed. Do keep these coming. I need this in order to get motivated to purchase products from Sounds True. It is a whetting of the appetite plus a positive impact in and of itself. Thanks so much!!!

Regarding No Situation Is Unworkable: interview with Geneen Roth – this was a compelling interview, and the questions asked were mine as well. Geneen’s description of her shock and disbelief, and her ability to grasp some lesson from this life changing event – yet maintain perspective, was inspiring. Thanks. Susan

I enjoyed this podcast very much. I would like to ask the full name of the poet who wrote the “Kindness” poem.

I love this poem. I have an old crumpled up copy of it that I have taped next to every desk I’ve sat at over the past nine years. It was written by Naomi Shihab Nye.

Thank you Geneen and Tami
Tami I admire your skills in interviewing your guests. You pose at the right time, you allow sufficient time for the speaker to speak her mind. From my end it feels so natural for you. This was a gem and it came at the right time for me.
