Who do you want to be when you put down the shield and take on life's battles
Bare?
In her second book,
Bare, Susan Hyatt presents an empowering approach to transforming your body and your life. Inside this book, you'll learn:
• How to treat your body with care, love, and respect—not hateful criticism
• How to shed everything that's weighing you down, physically and mentally
• How to de-stress at the end of the day without relying on excessive food, alcohol, Netflix binging, and other habits that clog up your mind and drain your energy
• How to stop obsessing about your body and focus on the priorities that really matter in life—like dominating in your career, writing your novel, learning a foreign language, contributing to your community, or otherwise making your mark on the world
This is a must-read book if you want to take excellent care of yourself, upgrade your mental and physical health, build confidence, conquer your goals, crush the patriarchy, and look and feel damn good doing it.
Bare is not a weight-loss plan. It's a life-gain plan.
Trade Review"With her cheerleader-like style, Hyatt will undoubtedly touch a chord with fans who embrace her antidieting, love-your-body message."
—Booklist "Susan Hyatt's funny, vibrant spirit has made a difference in many women's lives. Her infectious enthusiasm may be just what you need to learn how to love your body and strip away everything that doesn't serve you."
—Martha Beck, columnist for O: The Oprah Magazine and bestselling author of Finding Your Own North Star and Steering by Starlight "
Bare flips the broken cultural norm—we must starve ourselves to fit into a patriarchal norm of desirability—and focuses instead on strengthening the love, power, and beauty we have inside us. Susan will help you nurture and love the body you are in, choosing health on your terms and in your time."
—Pamela Slim, author of Body of Work "With books like this one, we are throwing off the stupid and cruel yoke of worrying about our body size and shape one day at a time. We are stopping the madness and eventually it will be a ridiculous idea consigned to history. Susan's book is a bright step in the direction of freedom. You will love her voice, her story, and, most of all, her ideas."
—Jennifer Louden, bestselling author of The Woman's Comfort Book and The Life OrganizerTable of ContentsContents
