“Bodies” by Susie Orbach

Sedentary people often pass their time sitting at a keyboard or on a sofa envying other people and their toned muscular figures. Why are we rarely happy with our own bodies? According to Susie Orbach, psychotherapist and author of “Corpi” published by Codice Edizioni, everything can be blamed on capitalism which flourishes on the fact that we hate how we look. In the 180 page book the author, therapist of the late Lady Diana, takes us on a global corporeal tour, made up of news items, diets, plastic surgery and much more besides, in pursuit of an ever elusive perfect body.
