  Our perceptions of ourselves are often shaped by external influences—society’s standards, media portrayals, and cultural expectations—all of which intertwine to form our sense of identity. For many individuals, this connection leads to a cycle of dissatisfaction, self-criticism, and, in some cases, the development of eating disorders. This book seeks to explore the complex relationship between body image and eating disorders, shedding light on the underlying psychological, social, and emotional factors that contribute to these issues. 
  The mirror, both literal and figurative, serves as a powerful symbol in this context. It is where we first encounter our reflection, yet it can also distort our sense of self, making us question whether we truly see who we are or merely a distorted version of reality. Body image—the way we perceive and feel about our physical appearance—often influences our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. When this perception becomes negative, it can trigger harmful behaviors, such as restrictive eating, excessive exercising, or binge eating, leading to eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. 
  What makes the relationship between body image and eating disorders so complicated is the array of factors that contribute to the development of these conditions. Genetics, environment, and life experiences all play significant roles in shaping one’s body image. However, societal pressures, reinforced through media images and social expectations, can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy, particularly among vulnerable individuals. For some, these pressures create a perfect storm, where the desire to conform to idealized body types results in harmful coping mechanisms, such as disordered eating patterns. 
  In this book, we will explore how body image issues can manifest in a variety of ways, from subtle dissatisfaction to full-blown eating disorders.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spencer Johnson is a parable about four characters in a maze: two mice, Sniff and Scurry, and two little people, Hem and Haw. They are in search of "Cheese," which is a metaphor for what they want in life, and the "Maze," which is a representation of where they look for it. The story explores how the characters react when their Cheese is moved unexpectedly, forcing them to deal with change. While the mice simply adapt and move on, the little people have a harder time, showing different ways people respond to change. One resists, while the other eventually learns to embrace it. The story offers insights into dealing with change in work and life, aiming to provide a less stressful and more successful approach.

  Strangers to Ourselves -...

  A New York Times Book Review Ten Best Books of 2022 A Wall Street Journal Ten Best Books of 2022 The acclaimed, award-winning New Yorker writer Rachel Aviv offers a groundbreaking exploration of mental illness and the mind, and illuminates the startling connections between diagnosis and identity. In Strangers to Ourselves, a powerful and gripping debut, Rachel Aviv raises fundamental questions about how we understand ourselves in periods of crisis and distress. Drawing on deep, original reporting as well as unpublished journals and memoirs, Aviv writes about people who have come up against the limits of psychiatric explanations for who they are. She follows an Indian woman, celebrated as a saint, who lives in healing temples in Kerala; an incarcerated mother vying for her children’s forgiveness after recovering from psychosis; a man who devotes his life to seeking revenge upon his psychoanalysts; and an affluent young woman who, after a decade of defining herself through her diagnosis, decides to go off her meds because she doesn’t know who she is without them. Animated by a profound sense of empathy, Aviv’s exploration is refracted through her own account of living in a hospital ward at the age of six and meeting a fellow patient with whom her life runs parallel—until it no longer does. Aviv asks how the stories we tell about mental disorders shape their course in our lives. Challenging the way we understand and talk about illness, her account is a testament to the porousness and resilience of the mind.

  HIV - AIDS - Living Positively...

  Receiving an HIV diagnosis can be life-altering, bringing a wave of emotions, uncertainties, and concerns about the future. Many individuals initially experience fear, confusion, or even denial, as the stigma surrounding HIV remains a significant challenge worldwide. However, the reality of living with HIV today is vastly different from what it was decades ago. Thanks to medical advancements, education, and growing awareness, people with HIV can lead long, fulfilling lives with proper treatment and care. 
  One of the most critical aspects of living with HIV is understanding that it is a manageable condition. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has transformed the outlook for those diagnosed, helping them maintain undetectable viral loads and reducing the risk of transmission. This medical breakthrough has empowered individuals to take control of their health, ensuring that an HIV diagnosis is no longer a death sentence. With adherence to treatment, many people with HIV have the same life expectancy as those without the virus. 
  Despite these advancements, stigma and discrimination continue to be significant obstacles. Misconceptions and outdated beliefs about HIV can lead to fear and isolation, affecting mental and emotional well-being. Many individuals struggle with disclosing their status due to concerns about rejection or discrimination in their personal and professional lives. Overcoming these barriers requires ongoing education and advocacy, as well as fostering a more inclusive and supportive society. Open discussions, accurate information, and strong support networks play a crucial role in breaking down these barriers.
