Radical Self Love: A Guide to Loving Yourself and Living Your Dream Paperback - 2015

Gala Darling has been teaching self-love for close to a decade, and is the creator of the Radical Self Love Method, a powerful technique which helps women transform their lives. She is an author, teacher, and speaker. Her site, galadarling.com, helps over 1,000,000 women a month find their voice, live without fear, and fall in love with life. Born in New Zealand, she moved to NYC with one suitcase when she was 24 years old, and used radical self love to heal from an eating disorder and depression. Gala has been called "a spiritual revolutionary," "the oracle of all things mystically glam," and "a modern-day guru." Her work has been featured in The New York Times, New Zealand Herald, Teen Vogue, New York Post, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Time Out New York, Sydney Morning Herald, The Daily Telegraph, The Age, Sunday Herald Sun, The Dominion Post, Inked magazine, MiNDFOOD, Stuff, Viva, and countless others. She has been interviewed on CBS, ABC News, and Hay House Radio. Gala has spoken about radical self love and entrepreneurship at SXSW Interactive, TEDxCMU, and dozens of other events across the world, in addition to lecturing at NYU (twice). A co-founder of The Blogcademy, she taught over 700 women how to build their business through their blog on several continents in a two-year period. Gala has worn mouse ears in the Blue Lagoon, walked the runway at New York Fashion Week, and once danced naked in front of strangers at a self-esteem workshop. She believes in kale and crystals, goal-setting and gratitude, kaleidoscopic colour and kicking ass. "I have always admired everything about Gala from her sparkling heart to her fashion sense. I am also a fan of her writing, which is as inspiring as she is. She makes you feel like she's there with you, sharing her secrets for a luminous life. I highly recommend Radical Self Love and everything else she writes." -- Francesca Lia Block
