Body Talk: How to Embrace Your Body and Start Living Your Best Life

Katie Sturino wrote it. She founded the beauty brand Megababe and spent thirty years feeling ashamed of her body before building the self-love practice this workbook teaches.

No. It's built for anyone who spends energy thinking about how they look, whether that's constant or occasional. The workbook format meets you wherever you're starting from, no prior body-positivity reading required.

Write directly in the book. Affirmations and short anecdotes sit alongside blank space, so you answer the prompts and jot down your own feelings and inspirations as you go, rather than just reading someone else's.

Not necessarily. It's structured as an illustrated guide-meets-workbook, so many readers move through a few pages at a time instead of finishing all 208 pages in one sitting.

Keep the dust jacket on when it's on a shelf, and store it away from direct sunlight and damp spots. Since you'll be writing in it, a dry desk or nightstand works better than a bathroom shelf.
