Beauty Sick

- How the Cultural Obsession with Appearance Hurts Girls and Women

About Beauty Sick

Today's girls and women embody a bewildering set of contradictions. They don't want to be Barbie dolls, but, like generations before them, feel pressure to look like them. They're angry about the media's treatment of women, but often consume the very outlets that belittle them. They mock our culture's absurd beauty ideals and make videos exposing Photoshopping tricks, but emulate the same images they reject. They critique social media for presenting a false reality, but still download apps to airbrush their selfies. Simply put, a beauty-sick culture leaves too many of today's women at risk.Yet many of these same women are eager for a way to step away from the mirror?eager for a way forward. In Beauty Sick, Renee Engeln, PhD, provides invaluable motivation and workable solutions for women to embrace their whole selves, claim the futures they deserve, and, ultimately, change the very world that made them beauty sick in the first place.
