Descrizione dell’editore
Like everyone else, Kate Hudson is constantly on the move, with a life full of work, family, responsibilities and relationships. In Pretty Happy, Kate shows how she honors her relationship with herself through exercise, making the right choices about what she eats, and constantly going back to the drawing board and starting fresh, instead of holding herself to unrealistic standards of perfection and giving up when she falls short.
In almost every interview she gives, Kate is asked the same questions: What do you eat? How do you stay so fit? What workout do you do? What’s your secret? Well, the secret is that the sound bites the media loves so much don’t tell the story, and the steps you need to take to have a healthy, vibrant and happy life can’t be captured in a short interview. The key to living well, and healthy, is to plug into what your body needs, understanding that one size does not fit all, all the time, and being truly honest with yourself about your goals and desires.
Focusing on the Four Pillars of Health to enhance well-being, Pretty Happy shows the benefits of:
Cultivating an Intuitive Relationship With Your BodyEating WellAwakening Your Body through movementThe Miracle of Mindfullness
Full of questionnaires to help you assess your Body Type and your stress levels, advice about cleanses and keeping your diet and body balanced, and plenty of interactive Drawing Board exercises, Pretty Happy is a beautiful, insightful, and personal look at health from the inside out, an authentic plan for an authentic life from a woman who truly lives what she speaks.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Actress Hudson's debut has a gentle, down-to-earth style that complements its message about creating a healthy mind-body connection. Hudson notes that she was not "born thin," but works to stay connected to herself, listen to her body's inherent intelligence, and create a natural response to it. This came through building good habits and working with changes in her life and her body. The book's tone is especially sweet and encouraging in a section on body-image issues, with Hudson stating how important it is for women and girls to accept and honor themselves. She breaks down her system into "Four Pillars of Health," outlining how to develop an "intuitive" relationship with one's body, restore nutritional balance, awaken the body with movement, and tap into mindfulness. Hudson emphasizes easy-to-follow advice and strategies such as self-assessment charts and action plans, rather than a rigid, step-by-step regimen. Though the book doesn't contain any groundbreaking information, it does present diverse ideas and numerous practical methods in an attractive format, filled with appealing drawings, varied fonts, and hi-res photos. This guide to becoming "pretty happy" is a simply charming path to calm self-confidence.
