Body Image books

Below are the best books we could find on Body Image.

Body image, our perception of our own bodies, can be positive, negative, or neutral, but for many of us, it can be a subject of ongoing anguish. How we see ourselves, how we feel about the way we look, the thoughts and beliefs we have about our bodies, and the actions we take in relation to the way we look are all components of our body image. Body image can be affected by our mental health, relationships with others, cultural and societal messages, and a variety of other factors. Examining these factors and our corresponding assumptions about them can make a big difference in being able to appreciate—and even enjoy!—how we perceive ourselves.
