Sinopsis

Body Standards explores how pervasive media influence impacts body image and overall health. It examines the construction of beauty standards through various platforms—from traditional media to social media—and analyzes the psychological and physical health consequences of pursuing these often unattainable ideals. The book uniquely combines media analysis with a thorough examination of psychological and health implications to illuminate the complex relationship between media representation and self-perception.

 
The book traces the historical evolution of beauty ideals, highlighting how media has amplified and accelerated changes from voluptuous figures in pre-20th-century art to the thin ideal popularized today. Media's constant portrayal of narrowly defined beauty standards contributes significantly to negative body image, impacting self-esteem and mental health.

 
The book progresses through key sections: examining the mechanisms of media influence, exploring health consequences like eating disorders and anxiety, and analyzing social and cultural factors that perpetuate these issues.

 
Ultimately, Body Standards aims to equip readers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complex media landscape, foster positive body image, and make informed decisions about their health and well-being. It provides practical strategies for change and promotes a healthier media environment.

    Ken raised his three sons in a squeaky-clean suburb of Los Angeles. He envisioned fatherhood as coaching their sports teams, taking them to church (where he was the pastor), and visiting colleges one day. Instead, he got an education on the street names of opioids, fluency in rehab vernacular, and an insider’s view of the California prison system, when his middle son, Lucas, accidentally killed a man with his car while high on heroin. 
    Ken was tormented by doubt. What did I do wrong as a dad? Will my son ever be okay? Will my marriage survive this trauma? 
    Estranged from his son, Ken strived to rebuild their relationship. Face-to-face visits made them feel like they were in a fishbowl and phone calls were interrupted with inmates screaming. Letter writing turned out to be the best way to connect. Writing the letters proved cathartic for Ken. And they were clarifying for Lucas, as he made sense of losing his way, ultimately writing a heart-wrenching apology to the widow of his victim. 
    The written word became the perfect medium for a father to reconnect with his son—and himself. 
    Ken is most revealing, however, about the impact all this had on his faith. To go from the podium to the back pew and then out the back door disoriented him. How could he redefine his faith outside the four walls of religion? 
    With a distinct voice and disarming honesty, Letters to My Son in Prison offers a candid snapshot of fatherhood, a refreshing take on marriage, and a creative vision of faith.

    If you've experienced trauma, your nervous system may be stuck in "fight-or-flight" mode—leading to symptoms such as hypervigilance, extreme anxiety, and distrust of others.

This compassionate guide offers a breakthrough approach to bring your mind and body back into balance.

You'll also discover polyvagal techniques to help you soothe an overwhelmed nervous system and feel safe and at home in your body.

    A spiritual and poetic journey across cultures, languages, and inner landscapes. 
    Persiansk is a heartfelt collection of poems inspired by Persian mysticism and touched by Nordic clarity. Blending the soul of ancient Iran with echoes of Danish Asatro, these poems explore themes of identity, exile, belonging, and spiritual awakening. 
    The title—Persiansk—symbolizes this fusion: part Persian, part dansk (Danish), reflecting the poet’s life across two worlds. Through lyrical language and emotional depth, Ramin Taheri invites readers to pause, reflect, and rediscover the sacred in the ordinary. 
    “This book is a mirror. It will reflect you.” 
    For readers drawn to spiritual poetry, cross-cultural reflection, or the quiet beauty of the in-between, Persiansk is an offering of light from the space between worlds.
