Clarkson's brilliant social satire is written from the vague perspective of a mystic materialist on a misguided quest for self-fulfilment. Follow the hilariously likeable and vacuous protagonist as she mistakes egoism for altruism and prescribes her readers with pop psychology & inspirational quotes siphoned from the bowels of internet search engines.
Writing with great restraint and subtlety, the author carefully exposes the insidious trend towards constant self-improvement. This masterpiece of modern literature serves as a cautionary tale for those who seek to validate their self worth through the consumption of overpriced fitness clothing. A bold expose of contemporary living, this frightening parable of greed and vulgarity presents a startling image of a woman imprisoned by her own excess and ego.
Provocative. Ingenious. Horrifying. Original. A dazzling parodic vision presented in one slim volume. A must read.
I honestly felt that this book was just propaganda for Lorna Jane. There were some interesting motivational quotes through it - but I honestly didn't get much out of it.
I enjoyed the set-up, how easy it was to read and follow and very aesthetically pleasing to the eye!
I felt like it was a beautiful self-care activity to do when my boys went into bed and sunk my teeth into it with a herbal tea!
It motivated me into being more active and mindful with my wellness, which is paramount as a Pharmacist, Ayurvedic Yoga teacher and a mum of 2 very active boys!
It was a beautifully illustrated reminder to be my BEST self and I love that!
This is a great healthy lifestyle book that's fun, colourful and delightful to read full of positive messages to inspire a healthy lifestyle with great nutritious recipes. I would definitively recommend this book to another girlfriend (primarily focused on women) wanting to feel healthier or lose weight the best way. The tiny and only little issue I notice if its an issue is that Lorna is hasn't got much depth. And yeah their that advertising her brand. But if you don't mind it and looking for a book for someone health then this is the book for you. Love this book!
So inspirational and great recipes! It's the book I turn to when I need to inject some positivity into my day and remember the important things in life. Simple life lessons through the success story of AU fitness clothing guru Lorna Jane Clarkson.
