This book is an IMPORTANT book. I can't not say that enough. It is an IMPORTANT BOOK. It addresses an under researched and under talked about issue. That of Body Dysmoprhic issues in men. We hear about anorexia and bulimia and their effects on young women, but what about teenage boys with the same issues. We don't hear anywhere near the same amount of concern being addressed. And their is also another common Body Dysmorphic issue that affects men, and I for one am willing to admit that I have this issue on a smaller scale then what's presented in the book. Muscle Dysmorphia. The idea that one is smaller then one actually is. I'm a man of average hight and weight and yet I have a self preception of being about 15 pounds lighter then I am, thinking that I am too thin. Again The Adonis Complex address this.
