For more than a decade, nutritionist Sara Best has worked with women from around the world who long to change the size and shape of their bodies. In Tiny Revolutions, she shares the insights she’s collected over the years from thousands of interactions with clients, students and retreat guests offering the key lessons she’s learned along the way.
With a dose of wisdom, a pinch of tough love and a generous helping of compassion, these short essays are a collection of love letters for the women who have lived under the relentlessly cruel pressure of diet culture and come out the other side. They are designed to inspire, encourage, and remind us that perfection is not a real thing and that loving ourselves unapologetically is the only path to freedom.
It’s not often a book is so good it leaves you glowing with delight and also moved to the brink of tears, but Sara Best’s “Tiny Revolutions” did this to me. Reading it is like settling into a comfy couch for coffee with a stimulating new friend: every page is rich with goodnatured insights and hard-won wisdom, all of it warm with this author’s appealing blend of compassion and gentle humour. Gift this book to yourself!
