Summary: BUY THIS!
Review: I found this book to be a wonderful resource for my work with young women. This resource can be used in a clinical and educational setting as well as a great tool for use in the home. A "must have" for any young woman/teen. It guides them to be insightful and to understand how their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors can be influenced both positively and negatively. A great holiday gift. This would be a popular selection as most teen girls love to doodle, think, and explore themselves :-).

Review: This book is something EVERY girl, teen and adult woman should have growing up. If you missed out, don't let the same thing happen to the young girls and teens in your life now. What makes this book unique is that it is interactive...each exercise gets the girls thinking and teaches them to think more critically. This book empowers its readers by helping them understand that the images they are surrounded by -- those of emaciated models, hyper-sexed teens in movies and TV and others -- are NOT reality. What is real is what is inside, and there is no better way to grasp that than by looking in the mirror, and learning to see and appreciate what is REALLY there.

Summary: A Practical Guide for Teens
Review: This is an excellent and practical guide for anyone who has issues with their appearance and particularly for those who are easily influenced by the media. If you know a teenager who is having difficulty with weight problems, for example, and seems to be losing too much weight, or one who you find is always comparing their body image to the ones she/he sees in magazines, this would be a wonderful gift to give them. I found it very useful and having the space in the book to write down my feelings, was very helpful. I was personally affected by this book. It really makes you look differently at those size 2 models.

Summary: Great Tool for Young Women
Review: This workbook is an excellent tool for girls and young women. It allows them to develop an awareness of society's role in our perceptions of our bodies through a gradual and natural process. Creative exercises encourage girls to explore in an enjoyable way, thus awakening thoughts and feelings. Never "preachy", this guide empowers young women to have a choice in how they feel about the self they project to the world.
