Most people think that beauty revolves around such things as
lipstick, sweet eyes, or skinny jeans -- all those things
that we can see (and obsess over) in the mirror. But the
fact is that beauty isn't some superficial pursuit, and it's
not some random act that you can thank (or curse) your
ancestors for.
There are, in fact, scientific standards to
beauty. Beauty is purposeful, because it's how humans have
historically communicated who we are to potential mates.
Beauty, in fact, is really about your health and
happiness.
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael F.
Roizen and Dr. Mehmet C. Oz bust the myths and stereotypes
about the way we view ourselves -- and how we define beauty.
In these pages, you'll find out why beauty isn't as much
about your vanity as it is about your humanity. The doctors
take a scientific, informative, and entertaining look at the
three levels of beauty and explain how they all work
together to form a complete and authentic YOU. Those three
levels of beauty are:
Looking
Beautiful: Your appearance influences your self-esteem
and has major health implications. Here, the docs will tell
you how you can look the way you
want.
Feeling Beautiful: So what if
you have luscious lips or gorgeous locks if your joints
creak and you have the energy of a rug? The docs will tell
you how to improve your energy levels, beat back your
life-altering aches and pains, and come to grips with some
of life's toughest stresses.
Being
Beautiful: By improving your relationships with your
loved ones as well as with others, you'll be well on your
way to finding true happiness. That's the ultimate goal:
Having all three levels of beauty working together so you
can have a happy and healthy life.
