## Resource

My No.1 bestselling book, FULL: THE EMPTINESS OF OVEREATING, is available here. Body image doesn't improve by trying to think about it less or forcing confidence. For most people, it is not a thinking problem, but an attention problem. When most of your mental space is taken up by weight, shape, and appearance, body image naturally feels all-consuming. In part 1, we discuss how to increase the importance of other things in life so that body image takes up less space in your mind.
