Operation Beautiful Giveaway

Can you transform someone’s body image one post-it note at a time? Thanks to Penguin Group one lucky reader is going to find out with the soft cover book Operation Beautiful. Two years ago Caitlin Boyle got fed up with women attacking themselves in the mirror and scribbled “YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL” on a post-it and stuck it to a mirror in a public bathroom. Then she went home and blogged about it. Before she knew it people from around the globe were leaving their own post-it notes of encouragement and love and the Operation Beautiful website was born where visitors could share their own post-it love experiences.

by Caitlin BoyleThe book Operation Beautiful shares Boyle’s journey and showcases the notes women have posted around the world and the stories behind them. With interviews, interesting research findings, and tips for improving one’s outlook on life, each Post-it tells a different story from different perspectives. Whatever the story, the message remains the same—every woman is beautiful just the way they are!

    “You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

Stop Biting the Tail You’re Chasing

Tolerance
"No matter in what situations we find ourselves, when we don’t have so many opinions and preferences we naturally experience more peace of mind. We feel more agreeable, more comfortable, and more able to fit in with others. When we are more tolerant, not only do our minds’ stability and experience of meditation improve, but the conduct of our body, speech, and mind also improves because we stop being so reactive."
