Self-Help | Non-Fiction
Many women-regardless of income, size, shape, ethnicity, and
age-are uncomfortable in their own skin. We fixate on our
body image and try endless diets, implants, hair extensions,
and new shoes, but it's never enough. The problem is that
girls and women have been socialized to mistakenly conflate
body esteem and self-esteem. Body esteem refers to how you
think and feel about your physical appearance: your size,
shape, hair, and features. Self-esteem refers to how you
think and feel about your personality, your role in
relationships, your accomplishments, and your
values-everything that contributes to who you are as a person. The Woman in the Mirror goes beyond typical self-esteem
books to dig deep into the origins of women's problems with
body image. Psychologist Cynthia Bulik guides readers in the
challenging task of disentangling self-esteem from body
esteem, and taking charge of the insidious negative
self-talk that started as early as when you first realized
you didn't really look like a fairy princess. By
reprogramming how we feel about ourselves and our bodies, we
can practice healthy eating and sensible exercise, and focus
on the many things we have to offer our family, community,
and job. Bulik provides us the tools to reclaim our
self-confidence and to respect and love who we are.
