PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dermatologist Luftman and psychiatrist Ritvo, long-time best friends and "beauty buddies," dispatch beauty and self-realization advice from their respective areas of expertise in this breezy, effective self-help. "How to make yourself 20 percent more beautiful in just a few seconds?" Stop focusing on a static mirror image, which is not ever how other people see you. They shrug off magazine-cover standards and focus instead on "the most effective beauty regimen in the world... unstoppable, radiant self-esteem" resulting from self-worth and health. Count-your-blessings self-help standards take up a fair amount of space, but psychological concepts behind "inner beauty" ("the beauty-brain loop") are well-explained. Beauty specifics include a useful guide to skin care treatment organized by type and age, and an 80-question self-assessment quiz. Citing trends that Americans increasingly find woman over 50 as beautiful as those under 30, they assess that Oprah-level beauty maintenance costs at least $500,000 between the ages of 40 and 80; they also consider the pros and cons of cosmetic surgery. This guide from two medical doctors is light and efficient, but gains little fresh perspective from its pedigree.
Customer Reviews
Go Dr Eva!!!
I found the psychiatric perspective on beauty to be particularly engaging. The back and forth between authors was both playful and thorough, leaving me feeling more beautiful with every page I turned. Great work!!!
