Build a Body You Can Live In A Radical Redefinition of Strength, Safety, and Coming Home to the Skin You’re In. by J.D. Veyne

You don’t need a perfect body.

You need a body that feels like home.

What if fitness stopped being a battlefield—and became a homecoming?

For decades, we’ve been taught that discipline means denial, that strength requires suffering, and that beauty demands control.

But what if everything you were told about “getting fit” missed the point?

In Build a Body You Can Live In, J.D. Veyne dismantles the toxic myths of modern fitness culture and replaces them with something deeply human—a return to your body as a place of safety, trust, and truth.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Why your body isn’t a project—it’s a place

• How strength doesn’t have to mean punishment

• How to make peace with food, softness, mirrors, and rest

• How to build a relationship with your body that actually lasts

This isn’t a book about weight loss or performance.

It’s a book about presence. About belonging. About remembering that your worth never depended on the shape you’re in.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn your body before you could live in it—

this is your ceasefire.

Your rewrite.

Your return.
