Emily Dick discusses her new book, "Body Positive"
Airbrushed photos, expectations to weigh a certain number, the pressure to look and dress a certain way….The media and pop culture demand that we adhere to these often-damaging norms…
But what if we started off with a more balanced approach…asking each person to define beauty for themselves and to celebrate their own bodies no matter what?
That's what body image expert Emily Lauren Dick aims to do in her new book, "Body Positive," a guidebook that will help young adult women break down society’s messages. Readers are encouraged to define beauty for themselves and to celebrate their bodies’ incredible capacity to help them pursue life with strength and energy.
"Body Positive" is packed with information, real experiences, introspective questions and unretouched photographs that highlight the bodies of everyday, beautifully relatable women.
