9 Body Positive Books That'll Shape Your Self-Loving Journey

Tara Brach's Radical Acceptance may not be specifically about bodies, but her approach begins with the physical. A psychotherapist and Buddhist meditation teacher, Brach urges her readers to lovingly pay attention to our breath and the way our feet feel against the floor. She describes a "trance of unworthiness" that we can awake from, not by fixing ourselves, dieting, or landing the dream job/apartment/partner, but by being present to "the fundamental happiness and freedom that are the birthright of every human being."
