Body Positive Power

Because Life Is Already Happening and You Don't Need Flat Abs to Live It

By: Megan Jayne Crabbe

Narrated by: Megan Jayne Crabbe

A body-positive call to arms that's as inspirational as it is practical, from Instagram star Megan Jayne Crabbe

For generations, women have been convinced that true happiness only comes when we hit that goal weight, shrink ourselves down, and change ourselves to fit a rigid and unrealistic beauty ideal. We've been taught to see our bodies as collections of problems that need to be fixed.

Instagram star Megan Jayne Crabbe is determined to spread the word that loving the body you have is the real path to happiness. An international body positive guru with fans in all corners of the world, Megan spent years battling eating disorders and weight fluctuations before she found her way to body positivity. She quit dieting, discovered a new kind of confidence, and replaced all those old feelings of body shame and self-recrimination with everyday joy. Free of the pressure to fit in a size 2, her life became more satisfying than ever before.

In her debut book, Megan shares her own struggles with self-acceptance and her path to body positivity. With whip-smart wit and a bold attitude that lights up her Instagram feed, Megan champions a new worldview for all of us: It's time to stop dieting and get on with your life.

Great book for all people

I wasn’t sure about this book but it has really made me rethink how I think about my body and how I feed and treat it.
Great book. Thank you

Literally life-changing

My only complaint... where was this book when I was ten? I can't tell you how much I needed this book. Just listen... the. start actually living your life

beautifully said.

I have followed Megan for years. This book is something I would recommend for anyone struggling with an ED also any human that is alive in the era we are living in of fat phobia. I believe educating yourself on this topic is so incredibly important for us and future generations. I am recovered and some days still recovering. The body positive movement has been a huge part of my success learning to love and treat my body with respect. So much love for Megan.

Best Body Positive book I've read yet!

This book was so relatable and eady to listen to. Great facts along with true life stories. Love, Love, Love!!!!

This book should be a text book at schools. ❤️

I loved listening to this book. It is well documented and it gives you an amazing overview of the research and statistics that disprove and question the “thin = health,” paradigm and the diet/body shaming culture we live in. The way the book is narrated is wonderful. It feels as if a good friend that really cares about your well being is sharing their journey and insights with you. Thank you Megan 🙏. This hit exactly the right chords. It made my heart sing.
