This is the third episode of the Plus Podcast, a podcast in which Plus Magazine takes a closer look at the magazine’s topics. This time a topic from the health section: the psychology of appearance.
We all have something to complain about our appearance, according to research. Too bad, because we as humans are more beautiful and healthier than ever in these times. Professor Liesbeth Woertman has been researching our self-image for thirty years. Her book you are beautiful already is about self-image, for example, just like her latest book The Psychology of Appearance.
In this podcast, health editor Heleen Croonen talks to Woertman. How can we develop a more positive self-image? And how has self-image developed over the years? Were we more satisfied with our appearance in the past?
