Embrace Yourself

From the 2023 Australian of the Year




How to love the skin you're in - an inspirational lifestyle book by the world's leading body acceptance activist and 2023 Australian of the Year.

'Your body is not an ornament – it is the vehicle to your dreams.'


When was the last time you wore a bikini without a care in the world? Did a bomb in the pool? Or participated in an activity that gave you such a thrill you almost wet your pants? (Or you actually did!)

Taryn Brumfitt – Director of award winning documentary Embrace and fiercely passionate champion of women – has inspired over a million people across the world to embrace their bodies. Her message is urgent, critical, and incredibly inspiring. Learn to accept your body for all the wonderful gifts it brings you and reject the destructive fake images we are bombarded with every day.

Embrace Yourself is the ultimate 'how to' guide to loving your body at every shape and size. Do you hate your body and want to learn how to let go of the unhappiness it brings? Do you just want to reach a greater sense of body-loving nirvana? If the answer is yes, then this book might just change your life.

It's time to access your joy. It's time to Embrace Yourself.
