À propos de cet audio

 "An indispensable resource for women of all ages, this is a guide to help us better connect to ourselves, to value ourselves, to love ourselves, and ultimately, to be ourselves."
—Chelsea Clinton

Positive body image isn’t believing your body looks good; it is knowing your body is good, regardless of how it looks.
  • How do you feel about your body?
  • Have you ever stayed home from a social activity or other opportunity because of concern about how you looked?
  • Have you ever passed judgment on someone because of how they looked or dressed?
  • Have you ever had difficulty concentrating on a task because you were self-conscious about your appearance?

Our beauty-obsessed world perpetuates the idea that happiness, health, and ability to be loved are dependent on how we look, but authors Lindsay and Lexie Kite offer an alternative vision. With insights drawn from their extensive body image research, Lindsay and Lexie—PhDs and founders of the nonprofit Beauty Redefined (and also twin sisters!)—lay out an action plan that arms you with the skills you need to reconnect with your whole self and free yourself from the constraints of self-objectification.

From media consumption to health and fitness to self-reflection and self-compassion, Lindsay and Lexie share powerful and practical advice that goes beyond “body positivity” to help readers develop body image resilience—all while cutting through the empty promises sold by media, advertisers, and the beauty and weight-loss industries. In the process, they show how facing your feelings of body shame or embarrassment can become a catalyst for personal growth.

This really opened my eyes about life. I could relate to all the aspect of objectification I have struggled with since I was still a teenager and how it has shaped my life. This book brings real solutions on how to deal with that for me. I think every woman, and men as well, should read it. A big thumb up to the authors, really.

Enlightening

This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the pervasive self worth issues that seem to plague women and girls these days. Lifted a huge weight off my shoulders knowing I can opt out of this deadly game that leaves no winners, only losers. I am more than my body; self objectification no more. Life changing for me and hopefully my children as well.

Most impactful book I have ever read

I think this book should be read by every woman. I have been doing body image work for years now, and have come a long way, but I was still blown away by this book. I am realizing how much of the objectification I’ve experienced has been self-objectification. I still have a lot to learn, but this book has given me a lot to think about, and some concrete actions to take.

If you struggle with your body image, read this.

This was a great introduction to deconstructing the way we view our bodies within society!
