Bare was incredible, informative, and reading it, it felt like talking to a well-meaning friend.
Bare was honest and to the point, complete with exercise and notes to be filled later.

One minus point in my opinion, however, was that Susan did not include some tips for when the reader fall off the track. I mean, that happened, right?

But overall, it was a satisfying read and it already formed a 'what feels like love now?' in me.

5/5

This is a great book if you are a woman that needs to begin self-care and learning empowerment. If you have a voice and need to learn to use it, if you need to start simply, easing into changing your health and your overall well-being, this is the book to read.

Hyatt offers extended training and coaching via her website, and although nothing new is presented in this book or on her website that hasn't been covered before to some of us, it nonetheless is a refreshing approach for women who are just realizing that their true self is screaming to be released and present in the world.

At this time in the world, when women from all walks of life are rising up and claiming their power, this book is a gateway for those women who have yet to set upon a journey of self-exploration and, especially to younger women who may lack the confidence to step out and be seen.

Stellar. Filled with so many healing insights and an array of wonderfully fresh exercises. While most self-help books follow a tried-and-true path with a sprinkling of Inspiring, new suggestions, BARE is dripping with unique treasures. I originally wasn’t thrilled with the anecdotes, but upon reflection that marinates the ideas here, I found them to add to the strength of messaging. This is the kind of book that delivers more and more wisdom with each return to read it again.

I don't read too many self-help books, but I'm glad I did pick up this one. I appreciate Hyatt's approach to self-improvement mostly because some of the ideas she express are things that I've either thought of myself or have heard from other women. For example, at one point Hyatt states that many of us may find ourselves overeating because food is the only thing in our lives we associate with pleasure. I've had a friend who has basically said those exact words to me about herself, so I feel like the author is on the right course for uncovering issues of internal feedback. I'm not sure if I'll go through the whole seven week program, but I do think there are aspects that I will integrate into my life. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC.

This book is basically the author’s journey on how to be a better person. I knew everything she said while reading it. The first four chapters don’t even dive into anything self help worthy anyway. I’m disappointed.

I am in love with this book. I'm not normally a "self-help" reader. This book, though...this book is revolutionary in the way we as women think about ourselves. Hyatt bases her 7 steps on a very simple question: "What would feel like love?" Whoa. LOVE? We spend so much beating ourselves down and destroying ourselves in an effort to look good and be who we think society wants us to be that we're actually missing out on life! By asking what would feel like love, we can move beyond punishing ourselves and truly learn the art of self-care. Susan Hyatt really hits deep in this book and I, for one, will be giving this book to all of my females friends and family members.

The author Susan Hyatt book Bare tell you she has issues you and have issues. She will be able to inspire readers with you stories, her passion and her ability to connect with the negative talk women struggle with.

If you are looking for something new this isn't your book. She cover the same information others cover with self esteem, weight, appearance and motivation yourself to be the best you.

She has the ability to connect with woman though her personal struggles as well as stories of other woman who have struggled and found success.

I think this book will pic up speed with the attractive book cover.



Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of Susan Hyatt Bare A 7-Week Program to Transform Your Body, Get More Energy, Feel Amazing, and Become the Bravest, Most Unstoppable Version of You

In her second book, Bare, Susan Hyatt presents a badass, feminist approach to transforming your body and your life. Inside this book, you’ll learn: How to treat your body with care, love, and respect—not hateful criticism. How to shed everything that’s weighing you down, physically and mentally. How to de-stress at the end of the day without relying on excessive food, alcohol, Netflix binging, and other habits that clog up your mind and drain your energy.How to stop obsessing about your body and focus on the priorities that really matter in life—like rocking your career, writing your novel, learning a foreign language, contributing to your community, or otherwise leaving your legacy.

"This book is dedicated to every woman who has ever felt uncomfortable in her own skin, not pretty enough, not good enough, or not worthy of attention, respect, or love. You are worth all of that and so much more." The author right away uplifted me by dedicating this book to all of us who have felt less than perfect. She gives us a brake down of what we can do to help us shed the unwanted weight. I've always struggled with weight issues so this is a refreshing new take on weight loss.

I loved the cover of this book, and it rightly gave me the impression that it would be different than usual self help books. I didn't initially realize that BARE was a process, but the author quickly let us know that it is. The author herself was able to lose weight, and keep it off, by practicing listening to your body, understanding what makes us reach for food and how to combat that. I like this premise a lot, and I'll incorporate it into my life, and by the time this is published, I hope to have an edit that will include my own wins from using the BARE method.

Approachable ~ Honest ~ Useful
tl:dr: You have hang-ups, so did Hyatt. She can tell you how she changed.

I am a book-cover judger, usually. I pick up books to read based on aesthetics. I read this one for the cover. But, I'm glad that I did. The book deals with how one woman learned to like herself, itself a transgressive act. Much of this book deals with weight and health. The author, rightly I believe, suggests all our outside manifestations of inaction and second-guessing come from internal challenges. She helps us address these challenges. This is an honest, straight-forward self-help book. I appreciated her matter-of-fact tone.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
