Beschreibung

<p><strong>From <em>Sunday Times</em>bestselling author Alex Light comes an empowering, incisive new book examining the crushing beauty standards women are subjected to - and how we can learn to fight back.</strong></p>In a world full of filters, tweakments, and weight-loss drugs, take back control and rewrite the rules of beauty on your own terms.<p>Today's unrelenting beauty standards tell women that our worth is conditional; that we aren't good enough as we are. We fix and filter, tweak and tone, erasing ourselves to reach the ever-shifting goal of perfection.</p><p>In <em>The Price of Pretty</em>, <em>Sunday Times</em>bestselling author and podcaster Alex Light investigates the forces behind today's beauty dystopia. From the rise of new technologies and treatments framed as 'self-care' and the industries profiting from our insecurities, to the toxic messaging passed through generations, and how we can break the cycle.</p><p>With lunchtime 'tweakments' on the high street, endless endorsements for weight-loss drugs, and inescapable AI images and filters, the pressure to be eternally youthful, naturally filtered and flawlessly sculpted has reached breaking point. And women are paying a high price: financially, physically, emotionally and mentally. Interrogating how we got here, Alex exposes the all-consuming cost of beauty and issues a clarion call for all of us to take control and fight back.</p><p>Because here's the truth: you were never the problem in the first place.</p>
