About this product
Product Information
Combining case studies with scientific research, this book reveals a threat that is as serious as the beauty myth for women or anorexia nervosa for girls. Growing numbers of young men are taking the quest for perfect muscles, skin and hair too far, crossing the line from normal interest to abnormal obsession. The symptoms of this body obsession, excessive workouts, steroid abuse, eating disorders, and body and muscle dysmorphic disorder lead to problems with sex and intimacy, relationships and work. This book shows what men really think and feel about their bodies, so no-one need suffer alone.Product Identifiers

Very insightful and highly recommended
A very insightful book written by three people who have gone to extreme lengths to understand male self image issues and the social expectations that are placed on men that they term 'The Adonis Complex'. Highly recommended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
