Radical self-love is the antidote, and this fully updated second edition gives you both the understanding and the practice to build it.\n\nWhat's inside:\nA clear distinction between radical self-love, body positivity, and self-esteem—and why the difference matters The roots of body shame: how media, capitalism, and systems of oppression manufacture self-hatred across race, size, gender, disability, and more A four-pillar practice framework for moving from shame into sustained self-love “Unapologetic agreements”—tools for extending radical self-love into relationships and communities New in the second edition: expanded “freedom frameworks” for fighting systemic body terrorism at organizational and societal levels\nWho this is for: Anyone who has ever felt their body was “too much” or “not enough”—and especially readers who feel unseen in mainstream wellness conversations, including fat, disabled, Black, and queer communities.\n\nWhat changes: Readers consistently describe this book as the moment shame stopped feeling like their fault. It's the rare self-love book that is also a social justice framework.\n\nIf you're ready to stop apologizing for the body you're in, this is your next read.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1523090995\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1523090995.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Taylor, Sonya Renee\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
