What are the reasons for the current epidemic of eating disorders, the increasing obsession with exercise, diet, and cosmetic surgery, the constant exhortations to look and feel good? This book examines our concern with the 'good body' from a wide variety of perspectives, putting it in the contexts of contemporary culture and of ancient ascetic practices of self-denial.
