Book Signing: Renee Engeln- Beauty Sick

For the past fifteen years, Dr. Renee Engeln has dedicated herself to studying girls’ and women’s struggles with beauty and body image. In her revelatory new book, BEAUTY SICK: How the Cultural Obsession with Appearance Hurts Girls and Women Dr. Engeln reveals the shocking consequences of our culture’s obsession with girls’ and women’s appearance – effects on their wallets and their ambitions as well as their emotional and physical health, including depression, eating disorders, disruptions in cognitive processing, and lost money and time. She discusses the surprisingly damaging ramifications of seemingly feel-good popular media campaigns like the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty that champion the “everyone is beautiful in their own way” mentality.
