Why every woman needs to read The Beauty Enigma: The beauty industry. The aesthetic plastic surgery industry. Both are multi-billion-dollar businesses—almost entirely based on the countless millions of women who feel insecure about how they look. These women spend vast sums on surgical and non-surgical procedures, trying to change their appearance and defy aging. They torture themselves with arduous exercise and starvation diets. Striving desperately to be waif-like, some develop eating disorders. All are obsessed with the external criteria promoting how women should look. Is that really what beauty is about? In The Beauty Enigma, Demetria Victor Newman answers those and many more questions about the nature of beauty—and concludes that true beauty consists of far more than conforming to arbitrary and ever-changing social standards. Demetria guides us along the path to true beauty, which begins as an inner journey to physical, spiritual and emotional health, then leads us to healthy, revitalizing ways to enhance our style, appearance and self-confidence. What will you find—and learn about yourself—in The Beauty Enigma “When a person exudes genuine beauty it supersedes all physical appearances and human conditions… Truth, beauty, goodness and love are interwoven values essential to our happiness, to our mental, physical and emotional well-being…” “The Beauty Enigma will help reframe the way you think about beauty and help you reclaim your birthright to live a healthy life of ageless beauty.” So says Demetria Victor Newman as she takes you by the hand and guides you through an exploration of what true beauty is—and how to achieve it for yourself. This inspiring, dialogue-changing book is a guide to creating lifelong beauty in and for you. The Beauty Enigma is divided into two main parts. Part I seeks to define true beauty in terms of your mind, body and spirit. Part II offers a practical guide to becoming beautiful by transforming your inner understanding of beauty, while adopting a “Beauty Lifestyle” that will transform your outer self. In this book you will discover many keys to beauty, including: • Step-by-step guidelines to proper nutrition • The restorative power of good sleep • Useful exercises for remaining fit and flexible • Why you need a purpose in life, and • How to control stress. Ultimately, The Beauty Enigma is about holistic living and balance, which translates to total beauty—a real beauty that lasts a lifetime. Taking this book to heart and practicing its beauty lifestyle will not only lead you to true beauty; it also offers invaluable, proven methods for achieving a positive, productive, happier life! What is unique about this information? The Beauty Enigma is a call for a paradigm shift on how we define beauty. It discusses the complexity of beauty and seeks to uncover all aspects of a woman’s real beauty. It invites the reader to expand their awareness and guides them through how to develop a beauty mindset and lifestyle. The Beauty Enigma is about using every part of our being to embrace life and nature instead of engaging in a fight against aging. Information is presented as a resource-rich book with approachable content to stop the belief that we should not age, but rather use healthy techniques for agelessness. This is a holistic approach to beauty with a range of techniques (meditation, yoga, exercise, nutrition, and more) that can be individually tailored. This comprehensive, yet simple guideline enables the reader (at any age) to be beautiful now and blossom into an even greater beauty (naturally) over time. Most importantly, it shows women are NOT “less than” because they do not fit today’s standard of beauty. There are meaningful alternatives to cutting, starving, injecting or ingesting our way to “perfection.”  Excerpt The Beauty Enigma is a myth-buster, challenging perceptions of beauty and aging in our culture and encouraging women to be their own vision of “beautiful.” The book is a practical, manageable guide to finding personal beauty—not found in needles or jars—but within ourselves.

“The discourse of hate and criticism seems to dominate our everyday conversations and dialogue in modern society. Sadly, many of us, especially women, have internalized these messages. The Beauty Enigma has shown us a way out of this spiral. By helping us cultivate true beauty, Demetria Victor Newman has led us back to love.”

“Demetria Victor Newman’s The Beauty Enigma instantly caught my attention with its call for a shift away from the typical worn-out, superficial, commercialized view of beauty. I was truly inspired by Demetria’s insights into our vibrant, essential beauty that lies ready to be awakened within each of us. As a practitioner and instructor of yoga, I can attest that this ageless beauty is achieved when the body, mind, and spirit are aligned. Here, step by step, Demetria leads us through a program that uncovers our true beauty by teaching us unconditional love and acceptance of ourselves, which allow us to flourish and shine. I have been blessed by Demetria’s wisdom throughout our long and dear friendship, and have benefited from many of her methods— from jumping on my trampoline to periodic fasting. I know Demetria to be a living testament to the Beauty Enigma program. While this transformative book is a boon for all those who wish to empower themselves, it is positively essential for all those struggling with the low self-esteem in today’s world. Here is a life-changing path to realizing your glorious, true beauty.”

“Demetria Victor Newman…offers guidance on living a healthy and holistic lifestyle in The Beauty Enigma; her particular focus on women of all ages makes the book stand apart. Demetria Victor Newman appeals for a paradigm shift in mainstream’s distorted and superficial definition of beauty, and explores the psychological implications of this distorted view. In a well-structured format, the reader is given ideas on how to nurture every aspect of body and soul: from breathing and meditation to yoga and exercising, eating and drinking for health, and basically living a mindful and spirit-filled life. The book is accessible and clearly written from the heart; personal vignettes, practical tips, guidance on acceptance of the aging process and taking control of daily choices motivate the reader to commit to change. At the outset, the author promises to help each reader discover her own beauty and indeed, by the last page she delivers on this promise!”
