Treasure Yourself: Power Thoughts for My Generation
by Miranda Kerr
Treasure Yourself was something that I picked up at the library because I had planned on participating in an Oprah lifeclass - which was advertised as a free and then end up costing almost $100. Being bummed out I was looking for a spirituality book to tie me over, and I found Miranda Kerr's book on the shelves.
Known as a Victoria's Secret Angel and international model, Miranda Kerr teamed up with Louise Hay (of Hay House Radio, Books, etc.) to create her own book of affirmations and how they have played a role in her life ever since she was a young girl. Kerr's writing is very simple; almost a bit too much.
The first half of the book she is very briefly autobiographical - perhaps wanting to maintain some privacy. She teaches mostly about what keeps her grounded and rooted, her love of nature & organic supplements, and offers advice to women on how they too can feel beautiful if they choose to.
It's not the most complex nor deeply rooted spirituality books I've ever picked up, and I think that was a bit of a point. While I would have liked to have learned more about her childhood and more struggles she faced being a model, this was more of a playful book teaching young women to access their personality, believe in themselves, and see themselves as beautiful, strong women who can lead the lives they want.
The second half of the book was particularly my favorite because she shares with us the original quotes and words of advice that struck a particular chord with her, and also affirmations she created to go along with each one. She also provides advice on how to create your own affirmations and ideas for rooting the ones she created into your own life.
Overall, I think this was a fun breezy read and a nice little guide that I'd like to add to my bookshelf someday. It changed my perception a bit on how fashion is about the exterior world of a person; the style, the trends, the blurring line of models who are photoshopped and look the same. This small glimpse into Miranda's life was a nice break-away into understanding that beauty comes from within.
