Knockout (Hardcover)

An intimate and unflinching memoir exploring Mia Kang’s journey from self-loathing to self-love   Mia Kang is many things: a sought-after model, an immigrant, an eating disorder survivor, and a Muay Thai �ghter. Her �rst book, Knockout, is the story of how she eschewed normative body standards and learned to use martial arts to rede�ne her sense of self-worth. In a charming, �erce, and intimate voice, Kang invites readers into her world. She once lived and died by her weight, but she is now de�ned by her con�dence in being a woman who lives outside the mold of what we’re taught is “feminine.� After dealing with bullying, addiction, body dysmorphia, anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts, Mia acknowledges that she is lucky to still be alive to tell readers what she’s learned: to not let anyone else dictate who you are supposed to be.
