50 Contemporary Books Every Woman’s Gotta Read: Health, Wellness, Sexuality

I'm kinda scared to read this (you can see why, right?) but I just bought it because I need to, and Orenstein's previous work has been top-notch. Publishers Weekly (starred review): ''Eye-opening.... Orenstein draws powerful, humane portraits of her interview subjects, self-reliant young women who find themselves trapped by sexist stereotypes about women's bodies and women's pleasure. [A] smart, earnest, and timely assessment."

From the publisher: "First published in 1995, Intuitive Eating has become the go-to book on rebuilding a healthy body image and making peace with food. We've all been there—angry with ourselves for overeating, for our lack of willpower, for failing at yet another diet. But the problem is not us; it's that dieting, with its emphasis on rules and regulations, has stopped us from listening to our bodies. Written by two prominent nutritionists, Intuitive Eating will teach you: • How our three Eating Personalities define our eating difficulties • How to feel your feelings without using food • How to honor hunger and feel fullness • How to follow the ten principles of "Intuitive Eating", • How to achieve a new and safe relationship with food and, ultimately, your body • How to raise an "intuitive eater" • The incredible science behind intuitive eating. This revised edition includes updates and expansions throughout, as well as two brand new chapters that will help readers integrate intuitive eating even more fully into their daily lives."

From the publisher: "An essential exploration of why and how women’s sexuality works—based on groundbreaking research and brain science—that will radically transform your sex life into one filled with confidence and joy. Researchers have spent the last decade trying to develop a 'pink pill' for women. So where is it? Well, for reasons this book makes crystal clear, that pill will never be the answer—but as a result of the research that’s gone into it, scientists in the last few years have learned more about how women’s sexuality works than we ever thought possible. Stress, mood, trust, and body image are not peripheral factors in a woman’s sexual wellbeing; they are central to it. And Emily Nagoski can prove it."
