Fourth Estate, 2019

‘Perfect, kind, hilarious and persuasive’ Lena Dunham ‘You need this book. Your mum needs this book. Your best friend needs this book. Everyone needs a dose of Happy Fat!’ Julie Murphy ‘I am a fat person and I love my body. I feel lucky to be able to say that – it has taken a lot of work and a lot of time. I want to tell you what I have learned and how I got here.’ In Happy Fat, comedian Sofie Hagen shares how she removed fatphobic influences from her daily life and found self-acceptance in a world where judgement and discrimination are rife. From shame and sex to airplane seats, love and getting stuck in public toilets, Sofie provides practical tips for readers – drawing wisdom from other Fat Liberation champions along the way. Part memoir, part social commentary, Happy Fat is a funny, angry and impassioned look at how taking up space in a culture that is desperate to reduce you can be radical, emboldening and life-changing. Sofie Hagen's Happy Fat is a unique blend of autobiography, self-help, and entertainment. Her personal journey towards mental growth and happiness is both inspiring and humorous, making this book a top choice for anyone seeking self-acceptance. For fans of Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Jes Baker (Landwhale), Sabrina Strings (The End of Love), Lindy West (Shrill), and Laura Thomas (Just Eat It).
