DOWNLOAD EBOOKPhysical attractiveness phenomena permeate society with somber ramifica tions. Correspondingly, practical applications of physical attractiveness phenomena are extensive. The consequence is that almost every person can benefit from knowledge about research on physical attractiveness. Such research material provides valuable information for persons established in their careers, as well as those preparing for a career. Similarly, parents at all stages of their life cycle should be cognizant of how physical attractiveness impacts the psychological and physiological development of children. Because no one is isolated from physical attractiveness phenomena, knowledge of this material should be imperative for everyone. This book consolidates research that specifically addresses physical attractiveness. The first summary was a classic review presented over 10 years ago (Berscheid & Walster, 1974). Since then the research literature has continued to grow, but no comprehensive review has again been published. Even though research summaries have been presented in a compilation of psychological abstracts (Cash, 1980), and in a discussion of stereotyping literature (Adams, 1982), the study of physical attractiveness phenomena is due for a comprehensive account and an analysis of the extensive, divergent research.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnleash Your Power to Manipulate Reality: Discover the Secrets to Consistent Auto-Beautification and Transforming Your Physical Appearance! In junior high school, a few friends (well not really friends) told me I looked like a girl and weird. This would scar me for decades to come. I now believed that I was an "ugly" person. With a changed inner world, all my experience of the outer world would change. Once I believed I was "ugly," the universe would continue to feed me evidence of my belief thus reinforcing this belief. And this belief would eventually reshape my physical appearance. At around 30 years old, I quickly came to the dangerous junction of life-and-death… During next 15 years, I struggled with alarming pains in all parts of my body. I had severe insomnia every day – with the worst being not able to sleep for 2-3 days. My face sagged. Eye lids sagged. Horrific eye bags formed. I also accidentally scrapped off a section of my scalp while practicing a difficult neigong because that section of the scalp was oozing with pus. I think I don't explain about my life carrying around that physical appearance. People who understand would understand. The book will show you how to truly improve your physical appearance significantly with the law of attraction. Young people are proactively trying to change their fate and destiny. Perhaps too proactive... People are doing things (plastic surgery, excessive makeup and cosmetics) to their face to change their appearance because of the entertainment industry's overpowering influence. I do not recommend cosmetic surgery except in extreme cases because of the damage to the energy lines of your facial tissues. So here I present to you a better way... natural... And with the universe and higher beings helping you from above, I don't think there are better allies in your quest to b become better looking... This book will start you on the journey to manifest Physical Beauty. I've lived and experimented with the tips in this book and seen the results first-hand.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe bestselling classic that redefined our view of the relationship between beauty and female identity. In today's world, women have more power, legal recognition, and professional success than ever before. Alongside the evident progress of the women's movement, however, writer and journalist Naomi Wolf is troubled by a different kind of social control, which, she argues, may prove just as restrictive as the traditional image of homemaker and wife. It's the beauty myth, an obsession with physical perfection that traps the modern woman in an endless spiral of hope, self-consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society's impossible definition of "the flawless beauty."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere is a saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, implying that beauty is subjective. But can it be said that 'better looking' people have more social power? This book provides a fascinating insight into the social stratification of people based on looks - the artificial placement of people into greater and lesser power strata based on physical appearance. The author analyzes different aspects of physical appearance such as faces, breasts, eye shapes, height and weight as they are related to social power and inequality. For example, tall people are often associated with power, with tall people being seen publicly as more capable and thus more deserving of power than shorter people. The author moreover assesses how people's physical appearance affects their chances of marriage, employment, education, and other social and economic opportunities. The book contributes to and differentiates itself from current literature by emphasizing sociological theory - including constructionism and critical theory - and research to understand the phenomenon of social aesthetics, a term coined by the author to refer to the social reaction to physical appearance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor five decades, negative body image has been a major focus of study due to its association with psychological and social morbidity, including eating disorders. However, more recently the body image construct has broadened to include positive ways of living in the body, enabling greater understanding of embodied well-being, as well as protective factors and interventions to guide the prevention and treatment of eating disorders. Handbook of Positive Body Image and Embodiment is the first comprehensive, research-based resource to address the breadth of innovative theoretical concepts and related practices concerning positive ways of living in the body, including positive body image and embodiment. Presenting 37 chapters by world-renowned experts in body image and eating behaviors, this state-of-the-art collection delineates constructs of positive body image and embodiment, as well as social environments (such as families, peers, schools, media, and the Internet) and therapeutic processes that can enhance them. Constructs examined include positive embodiment, body appreciation, body functionality, body image flexibility, broad conceptualization of beauty, intuitive eating, and attuned sexuality. Also discussed are protective factors, such as environments that promote body acceptance, personal safety, diversity, and activism, and a resistant stance towards objectification, media images, and restrictive feminine ideals. The handbook also explores how therapeutic interventions (including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Dissonance, and many more) and public health and policy initiatives can inform scholarly, clinical, and prevention-based work in the field of eating disorders.
