Description
The pressure to achieve a flawless body has become an unprecedented expectation in recent decades. From surgical enhancements to eating disorders, the impact is felt globally, with individuals as young as six being affected. In her work as a psychoanalyst, Susie Orbach has observed that our perception of our bodies reflects how we view ourselves, and that this can have profound effects on our self-worth. The way we think about our bodies has become deeply ingrained in modern society, with millions striving for perfection. But what drove this obsession? In "Bodies", Susie Orbach explores the fundamental questions behind this phenomenon and proposes a new theory on how we became embodied. Through her insights, Orbach sheds light on the complex relationships between body image, self-esteem, and societal expectations. This thought-provoking book invites readers to consider the ways in which our bodies shape our lives and ourselves.
