Book Recommendation

I’ve recently heard about a book called, The World Has Curves, by Julia Savacool.  This book takes a global perspective on body image, specifically for women.  Basically, it talks about the introduction of tv and media and impact it has on women.  Sometimes I call fashion magazines “self esteem lowerers”  (lowerer not being a real word, but you get the idea)  Looking at a magazine wishing you looked like someone or something else is never an uplifting feeling.  Keeping it in perspective and finding healthy role models is.  Check out the book, I think it has ideas worth reading.

Patricia,

On that same topic, I thought you’d enjoy this video – it’s startling and should be a good improvement to anyone’s self esteem that’s been lowered by looking at the magazines/ads/billboards.
