This book is about the simple, concrete, and straightforward ways how to keep your insecurities out of the way of living your best life.

People with a healthy body image don’t love their hips or their waist anymore than their lungs or their sense of balance. Looking in the mirror doesn’t give them a tingly jolt of happy energy. In fact, the reason they’re at peace with their bodies is precisely because they don’t have strong feelings about their physical appearance. - Anuschka Rees
