Fashion ads, magazine covers, TV shows, and movies idealize a body type that is impossible for most real women to achieve. In this comforting, liberating book, Dr. Mary Pipher, bestselling author of Reviving Ophelia, offers advice, counsel, and practical solutions for understanding our needs, our fears, and our many hungers. She shows us how we can at last learn to live at peace with the natural differences in our bodies and appetites. \u003cbr\u003eThe rates of anorexia, bulimia, and depression for women are the highest they have ever been, and begin at ever younger ages. Dr. Pipher reveals how society encourages our misery and prevents us from accepting our looks. Indeed, for many women the humiliation of overweight or obesity is a wound that never heals. Dr. Pipher reminds us that accepting our bodies the way they are is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Pipher, PhD, \u003c\/b\u003e is a clinical psychologist and author of \u003ci\u003eHunger Pains: The American Woman's Tragic Quest for Thinness\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Shelter of Each Other: Rebuilding Our Families\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAnother Country: Navigating the Emotional Terrain of Our Elders, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Middle of Everywhere: The World's Refugees Come to Our Town\u003c\/i\u003e.
