Your Body Is Not an Apology Workbook

I love the questions this workbook poses, and that it goes along with the book. This book has allowed me to take a deeper look at loving myself with practical steps. Thank you to the author!

Great supplement to a great book. Is a good way to continue the thinking the author introduced. I love it and guided workbooks.

A great affirming workbook to accompany Your Body Is Not an Apology. Recommended for people who want to gain more self esteem and love for themselves, or already have confidence but want to dig in deeper to bodily love. Particularly useful for people who enjoy self reflection, mindfulness, and meditation.

What a great workbook! I will highly recommend to my clients. It's so important to look at the whole picture and how society/media gives you messages about your body every day. I think a lot of us "know'" this, but this workbook challenges you to REALLY explore the ways this has impacted you personally. Fantastic!

(I have read all of the book, yet not done all activities as I would like to do them over a certain amount of time instead of bingeing. As well as the fact that some activities require a day or more.)

This should honestly be distributed to EVERYONE! Working through this book truly made me realise so many things I hadn't thought about. Even as someone studying both psychology and sociology, this book still educated me in the media. I'm not one for non-fiction books, and I'm not too sure what called me to this book in particular but I'm so glad I did. More needs to be said and shared about these topics. While people are still suffering and feeling alone, this promotion will never be enough. I always thought I had come a long way from being self conscious, but this book just helped me realise that some things indoctrinated in me as a child remain. It used an example that really stuck with me because of how much I hear it on the daily; the whole "I look fat in this" "no you don't you look great. I'd look so much worse". Not only have we began to use normal body types and features as insults, but we as a society can't help but try to out-do others, even for negative reasons.

I'd really like to buy this book in order to have my own written responses fully completed within it. The author of this is a blessing to society and femininity

I LOVED this workbook! Not only are the illustrations beautiful and so amazingly body-positive, but it's extremely helpful. I love the fact that I can pick up this book and actually do something productive, an excercise that feels as though I'm doing something constructive.

The phrase "body terrorism" really resonated for me and is something I'm going to be exploring further. we live in a world that is quite the opposite of the voice I hear when I read this book. It's refreshing and I learned a great deal. Media is everywhere and this book really highlighted for me how prevalent it was in my life. I knew it on one level but this book asked me some pointed questions that had me really taking a look at what media I consume.

Something I will definitely be incorporating into my daily life was the "character traits to complement" section! What a remarkably easy yet significant thing to do!

Thanks for this! Anyone would benefit from making their way through this workbook! Bravo!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for an honest review. What a great workbook! This was sassy and honest but most of all - brilliant.. This workbook is based on the <i>"Your Body Is Not an Apology"</i> book. While it's recommended to have read the previous book, this workbook stands on it's own. It guides the reader to look at the whole picture and how society/media gives you messages about your body every day. It challenges you to REALLY explore the ways this has impacted you personally. I started making notes of some of the awesome things she said as well as doing the activities. It was heartfelt, logical and empathetic. I highly recommend it.

This workbook is an EXCELLENT resource to help people achieve their self-love goals. There are questions to deep dive our beliefs and our memories, tools for helping us to write new stories and personal mantras, and even space to doodle and get creative. I admit, the doodling and creativity part was harder than answering the questions, which is exactly why I need the doodling and creative parts! Thank you Sonya for making me think outside my box, outside my norms.

I read the book Sonya wrote that companions with this workbook and absolutely loved it, reading it twice, however you do not need to read the book in order to get the full benefit of this workbook. It can be read and used as a stand alone workbook/learning tool, or in companion with her amazing book. I know I will be reviewing the questions in this workbook from time to time as my self-love journey is one that I know will be achieved through daily commitment and work. Ultimately we have to choose to see others - all bodies - with love and compassion and grace, but we will never get there unless we choose to do the inner work and first love ourselves.

Thank you, Sonya, for sharing your light and work with the world!

I feel like I made my main point about how amazing this work is in my review of the actual book. I will go further and say that Sonya Renee Taylor has provided us with a powerful tool to begin doing the work to dismantle systems of racism/ableism/fatphobia/transphobia/homophobia/ageism and so on. The humour she expressed in the book carries on through the workbook. If you felt moved to do better by the incredible book, this workbook is an essential companion.

The perfect companion to the book Your Body Is Not an Apology. Explanations and exercises are well explained and easy to follow.

Putting body positivity into practice - love it. Exercises (artwork, writing, thinking, doing, talking) interspersed with Taylor's thoughts on "radical self-love" - empowering, accessible, and useful for every person with a body.

100% would recommend.

As a woman who has struggled with self-love, body positivity, and self-kindness my entire life this book was like a lifeboat. It is the perfect balance between book + workbook. The workbook part is tough. The questions really make you think and do a lot of "shadow work". It's beautiful, a little painful but so worth it. The artwork is beautiful and diverse as well as the work you do. I intend to purchase this book for my younger sister. Radical self-love is what we all deserve. Don't hesitate, read it!

This book should be on the school syllabus. I will be recommending to all my friends.

It was easy to read but very informative and had the right balance of history, background, personal anecdotes and advice without coming across as very self help book like.

It was really interesting and I think purchasing as a hard copy would be much better than on kindle. Im looking forward to reading the activity book next.

Thank you for the arc.
