More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
Eve Ensler has become a worldwide celebrity icon for women... The capacity to inspire epiphany in others is a life-changing gift.
Product Description
Eve Ensler is back and has set her sight slightly higher with an intimate contemplation of her second greatest obsession: her tortured relationship with her post-forties stomach.
Ensler toured the world asking women about their bodies and gives us their wild and wonderful and deeply moving stories. She frames these stories with her own personal journey, serving up riotous excerpts from her lifelong dialogue with her stomach - a sassy and conniving antagonist in its own right. We follow her through the serial seduction of low-carb diets, ab rollers and personal trainers, to the wise words of a woman who taught her how to love her body, and see that it was good...

Format:Paperback
One of those books that is warm, straight talking and above all, empowering for women. Read about your body, talk about your body, and most of all; learn to love your body.
Format:Hardcover
Eve Ensler is constantly astounding. Her work is thought-provoking and by turns funny and heartbreaking. The Good Body is no exception. A play presented here as a series of essays, it confronts what all women encounter on a daily basis; the ongoing fight to accept and celebrate our bodies as they are, without modifying them to fit some magazine peddler's notion of what is "beautiful."
Eve hates her stomach - as she fights with it and struggles to accept it, she meets many other women who are fighting (or have won) the same battle. Beautifully realized, and I wasn't able to put it down until I'd read every page. It is a very tiny book; only about 90 pages, but every one is a stunner.

The synopsis above is quite descriptive, so my comment will be as brief as the book is in itself, but do not be fooled: it contains everything you need to know in order to appreciate what you have been blessed with, even if it includes a few extra pounds here and there or the inevitable wrinkles (of life or otherwise). It is okay to take care of our bodies, trying to live as healthily as possible, as long as nothing becomes an obsession, true path to an unbalanced, unhappy life.
