Most people think that beauty revolves around such things as
lipstick, sweet eyes, or skinny jeans -- all those things that we
can see (and obsess over) in the mirror. But the fact is that
beauty isn't some superficial pursuit, and it's not some random act
that you can thank (or curse) your ancestors for.
There are, in fact, scientific standards to beauty. Beauty is
purposeful, because it's how humans have historically communicated
who we are to potential mates. Beauty, in fact, is really about
your health and happiness.
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael F. Roizen and Dr.
Mehmet C. Oz bust the myths and stereotypes about the way we view
ourselves -- and how we define beauty. In these pages, you'll find
out why beauty isn't as much about your vanity as it is about your
humanity. The doctors take a scientific, informative, and
entertaining look at the three levels of beauty and explain how
they all work together to form a complete and authentic YOU. Those
three levels of beauty are:
Looking Beautiful: Your appearance influences your self-esteem
and has major health implications. Here, the docs will tell you how
you can look the way you want.
Feeling Beautiful: So what if you have luscious lips or gorgeous
locks if your joints creak and you have the energy of a rug? The
docs will tell you how to improve your energy levels, beat back
your life-altering aches and pains, and come to grips with some of
life's toughest stresses.
Being Beautiful: By improving your relationships with your loved
ones as well as with others, you'll be well on your way to finding
true happiness. That's the ultimate goal: Having all three levels
of beauty working together so you can have a happy and healthy
life.
You'll start off by taking the ultra-revealing and validated
YOU-Q Test to help you assess where you are on your own beauty
scale and where you want to be. Take the test, see how well you do;
then use the book to help you improve your score.
With their usual candor and honesty, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz break
down the mechanics of beauty and explain how little adjustments in
your routine can help you become a happier, healthier person. You
will learn about the biology of beauty, take YOU Tests to determine
where you are on the beauty scale, get tons of YOU Tips to help you
improve your life, as well as learn the secrets of the Ultimate
Beautiful Day.
From hair to toenails, Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz go through every
part of your body to explain how different foods, vitamins, creams,
gels, and injections can really boost your looks. They scrutinize
the beauty myths that bombard us every day and offer an unbiased
perspective on which ones cause more harm than good. You will be
able to revamp your beauty regimen (or start a new one from
scratch). They'll also take a close look at chronic pain, mood
swings, low energy, and financial stresses. And they'll dive into
the science of building relationships, finding happiness, and using
spirituality to help you define your own levels of true beauty.
Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz act as tour guides navigating the tricky
but exciting terrain of today's beauty industry. "YOU: Being
Beautiful" is your all-inclusive ticket into the world -- the real
world -- of beauty.
