Lucinda 'Froomes' Price
Acerca de esta escucha
‘I have always known that to be hot is to be powerful. For most of my life, I just took it as the way things are, a fact not worth interrogating since it’s so obviously true.’
Up until her twenty-fifth birthday, the number one priority in Lucinda Price’s life was to look good. She nipped, tucked, cut, plucked, shaved, tanned, crunched, squatted and starved. Then, she broke down.
All I Ever Wanted Was to Be Hot is a funny, provocative retrospective on the last thirty years of Western beauty standards. From the Pussycat Dolls to Victoria’s Secret, The Girls of the Playboy Mansion to Lara Bingle, the media of the 2000s was littered with high profile examples of hotness as the highest form of social currency. Is it any wonder a girl growing up in that era might believe “good looks” were as integral to womanhood as having a pulse?
With her offbeat humour and incisive cultural commentary, Lucinda tells the unfiltered story of a young woman overcoming an eating disorder, illuminating our enduring obsession with appearance by holding a mirror up to herself, and in turn, all of us.
A hilarious, insightful deep dive into self image, desirability, pop-culture and power. A sparkling debut by one of Australia’s most beloved creators and comedians, Lucinda Price aka Froomes.
©2024 Lucinda Price (P)2024 Audible Australia Pty Ltd.Reseñas de la Crítica
‘A book for the modern woman, laced with unflinching, glorious honesty.’ Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews, co-founders of Shameless Media
‘A funny, real interrogation of Australia’s body image problem, and a call to arms to dismantle diet culture.’ Chantelle Otten, author and sexologist
‘A feminist manifesto, a younger millennial gospel, with unparalleled candour and self awareness. I inhaled this book – it’s going to be big.’ Jessie Stephens
‘Brilliant, funny and brutally honest, this is a must-read for anyone trying to navigate through this incredibly complex, image-obsessed age.’ Myf Warhurst
‘If Tina Fey and David Sedaris had a child, it would be a book … this book.’ Ryan Shelton
‘My book of the year. Whip-smart. Hilarious. Honest … Lucinda is a genius who captures and melds the deeply serious and deeply funny in a way few writers can.’ Hannah Ferguson

Historia
This part-memoir, part feminist-manifesto meets women where they are and as they are. Hannah exposes and celebrates the messy, honest and insular parts of ourselves in a book designed to feel like a late-night conversation with your best friend – one that will make you laugh, cry and that you'll never want to end.

Historia
I know exactly what it's like to put others first, to settle for less than you deserve and to navigate relationships while trying to balance your independence and goals. But we are worth more than this. Having embarked on my self-love journey, I found that women often lacked clarity on what self-love really means and how to achieve it and this needs to change. I've packed Buy Yourself the Damn Flowers with lessons and methods I've learnt so that no woman is left accepting what life throws at her, but rather can use every moment as a tool to craft her dream self and reality.

Historia
Women Living Deliciously wants us to fall in love with our lives. It will help women uncover the sense of awe and wonder that has been buried by the layers of shame, perfectionism and self-objectification that get piled on us by the patriarchy. For too long we have internalized the belief that our bodies are things to be looked at—instead of lived in. That it’s embarrassing to fully express ourselves. That we cannot trust the parts of ourselves that are so full of desire.

Historia
It’s 2006. After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Historia
The Courage to Be Disliked, already an enormous best seller in Asia with more than 3.5 million copies sold, demonstrates how to unlock the power within yourself to be the person you truly want to be. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 20th-century psychology, The Courage to Be Disliked follows an illuminating conversation between a philosopher and a young man. The philosopher explains to his pupil how each of us is able to determine our own life, free from the shackles of past experiences, doubts, and the expectations of others.
