About this listen

 "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 book is life changing. I'd already started my journey away from self-objectification towards body neutrality but this was just the nail in the coffin of my old views and beliefs. So much of the media wants us to feel bad about ourselves and our bodies so they can sell us stuff. Instead of spending money on the next big weight loss solution, do yourself a favour and get this book instead.

Really loved this audiobook. I wish everyone could open their minds to listen or read this book and get on with living their best life. I'm sure it will take some practice but I cant wait to feel like the child I used to be with nothing holding me back from doing the things I enjoy and being really truly present. Thank you Lexie and Lindsay for writing this book.
