Screw Inner Beauty: Trash the Diet and Self-Loathing and Get on with Your Life by Kate Harding, Marianne Kirby
4.0
I'll confess that I was expecting something more from this book, when I first heard about it, than a "trash the diet and self-loathing and get on with your life" manual. However, that's the sub-subtitle it came with, and it lived up to it fairly well. I have a lot of respect for both authors as bloggers, and for the message they're trying to promulgate, and I hope this book helps that message reach a new audience.
I wish it had been a bit more forthcoming with references, though. For all that the authors make the point that they want people to do the research and come to their own conclusions, a few more details of the studies mentioned and a few more mentions of the research upon with they've based their own conclusions would have gone a long way, both in helping people find the information that's out there and in adding credibility to their position.
