Knockout

An intimate and unflinching memoir exploring Mia Kang’s journey from self-loathing to self-love
 
Mia Kang is many things: a sought-after model, an immigrant, an eating disorder survivor, and a Muay Thai fighter. Her first book, Knockout, is the story of how she eschewed normative body standards and learned to use martial arts to redefine her sense of self-worth. In a charming, fierce, and intimate voice, Kang invites readers into her world. She once lived and died by her weight, but she is now defined by her confidence in being a woman who lives outside the mold of what we’re taught is “feminine.” After dealing with bullying, addiction, body dysmorphia, anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts, Mia acknowledges that she is lucky to still be alive to tell readers what she’s learned: to not let anyone else dictate who you are supposed to be.
 

O memorie intima si neplacuta care exploreaza calatoria Mia Kang de la ura de sine la iubirea de sine Mia Kang este o multime de lucruri: un model cautat, un imigrant, un supravietuitor al tulburarilor alimentare si un luptator Muay Thai. Prima ei carte, Knockout, este povestea modului in care a evitat standardele corpului normativ si a invatat sa foloseasca artele martiale pentru a-si redefini sentimentul de auto-valoare.
