Features: This book aims to improve people's body image. Through the virtual characters Beautiful Body and Big Head, it encourages women and men to expose their inner criticism of their bodies—these inner voices often scold them for not achieving ideal physical perfection and hinder our comprehensive self-appreciation. But the truth is, the body itself is not at fault; it's the concepts that are wrong. BevAisbett is a cartoonist who has also struggled with depression. Based on her own experience of overcoming mental illness, she has published a series of comic books in cartoon form to help people cope with mental health challenges. Her books are light, humorous, and written in a simple, clear style, making them suitable for general readers, especially those with similar psychological issues. "Letting Go of Beauty—Enjoying the Real Self" tells us that the beautiful women and big heads that people admire and suppress are merely myths in life. We have too many reasons to liberate our minds and bodies and to live authentically.
