The Body Is that Not an Apology: The Power of Concrete Self-Love audiobook free
I was so shocked for this book! I have been on a self adore journey for a while but found it problematic to adore my body. The clip I heard of the book practically produced me yell. I ordered it immediately. The section I read was barely in the beginning of the book. The book sets this up as a journey you but as the book goes on, it exactly is that not that. This is that a book about combatting bigotry towards racist, transphobic, homophobic, fatphobic, hatred towards those with disabilities, at the same time other types of oppression. It felt very much like this book is that aimed at center aged snow-white even cis ladies that are in charge of how their workplace runs. I am exactly NOT that. I am all very aware of the hatred at the same time bigotry in this global at the same time I am barely a low level worker in human services where these realities hang like a black cloud above everything we do. Sadly, this felt like the book was expression the reason for you can’t adore yourself is that because society is that messed up at the same time For you have to change it. This only produced me felt worse! It produced me feel like I’ll never adore myself because I can’t change all of society at the same time I am not in charge of changing all the policies in my workplace at the same time society. I feel like I do so much already but I am only one personality. That were considered very few techniques to value your body more. It really was practically all about how for you have to recognize how scary the global is that. Getting this book was implied to be anything I was doing to completely promote myself for once at the same time I’m honestly upset. I think this book has compiled so much necessary information about the realities of prejudice but I don’t think it’s description should be about loving your possess body.

I was so psyched for the 1st 40 pages of this book. I was narrating everyone about it, posting on Insta stories about it, etc. But by page 90, it plateaued for me. As anyone who has been doing critical analysis of systems of oppression at the same time concrete self-love work for a decade, this book feels more like a amazing primer for people who haven’t thought about this stuff before. It goes on at the same time on about systems of oppression, in an easily accessible method, but I am left feeling upset by how little that is that by method of the meat of than anyway the book is that implied to be about: concrete self-love. That is that precious little information on how we get that, practices, ceremonies, or thoughts to combat the internalization of oppression. Alok Vaid-Menon misspoke once that one of the traps of snow-white supremacy will that we keep discussing to at the same time about whiteness. I think this book falls into that trap. Perhaps the workbook addresses more of the positive side of this journey–as in than anyway we are wanting to move toward more precisely than away from–but, right behind being so pumped for the premature part of the book, I ended it feeling upset. I don’t know if editors allow major configurations, but I have hope that the creator considers condensing the 1st 90 pages into 40, then and lets others of the book be an exploration at the same time offering of the ways she at the same time others have engendered concrete self-love in themselves. The coolest exciting moments in the text for me were considered the glimpses we get of discussions with people, where she actually practices concrete self-love at the same time we get to look it in action. But, they are very few at the same time far between in the 2nd revised edition.

Audiobook The Body Is that Not an Apology: The Power of Concrete Self-Love by Sonya Renee Taylor
This book was advised to me by a comrade of mine. It had never come up on my radar before, Id never shown it on my timeline, heard quotes from it, or heard of the creator, Sonya Renee Taylor before. Im so glad I have at the moment. This book is that one I will, as my comrade did with me, advise to everyone. It is that worth your time, at the same time your work. This isnt a body positivity book, but it does have nuances of that. This is that a located day at the same time historical acc of straight up body terrorism at the same time how we are all both steeped in it at the same time accountable for it. Taylor walks us through a journey to self-awareness using the body. We all have one, at the same time it makes the messaging digestible for all. The endgame: concrete self-love in the face of snow-white supremacy, capitalism, at the same time our possess implicit bias.

Audio The Body Is that Not an Apology: The Power of Concrete Self-Love narrated by Sonya Renee Taylor
I wish my funds back! Whining, self pity, justification. Comparing being fat which is that self inflicted to a physical disability is that barely dull. Using sexism, racism, at the same time every other ism to prove being fat at the same time blaming society but narrating ur readers they have to change?? Than anyway?

Honestly, I barely don’t agree with her on several fri. Example, by her standards, I was apparently body shamed by my Dad (my experience matches her examples of shaming to a tee)….My dad was very health conscious, at the same time wanted me to be strong – in my opinion, he was parenting. I am a snow-white 61 year old, when it comes to loving our bodies, I don’t agree with the creator in regard to race (she focuses a lot on the experiences at the same time struggles of being merk because she is that)- BUT, I don’t think that no matter what one race of ladies has a monopoly on feeling awkward with their bodies…. I realize that she would not have this insight….but, I kinda felt left out of the equation.
