More Than A Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament

by Lindsay Kite Author and Lexie Kite Author

Focusing on the fallibility of looks, twin Doctors Lexie and Lindsay Kite share an alternate vision of how we can view wellness — by going beyond looks themselves. In a society full of beauty standards, they set forth to fix the notion that a positive body image isn’t rooted in looking good, but believing that your body is good for all that it does and is capable of. Their activism focuses on helping women recognize and reject the latent, constant messages in the media that drive false notions of what it means to be healthy and what constitutes a positive body image.

This book lays out the foundations and skills of how to begin to find your way past the empty promises of consumerist media. It's aim is to aid you in reconnecting with yourself in a more healthy way. Kite and Kite give you the tools and the knowledge to begin to face feelings of body shame and use them as a driver for personal growth.
