True You by Janet Jackson Book Summary

Janet Jackson emerged from the shadows of an already famous family to become one of the most beloved, recognizable, and influential performers in the world—but at what cost?

From the age of ten, when she made her acting debut on Good Times, Janet Jackson was told by Hollywood that she needed to slim down. Her well-meaning brothers, especially fun-loving Michael, teased her relentlessly until she began to believe that who she was wasn’t good enough. It was an idea that no amount of critical acclaim in television and film or, later, international platinum success in music could change.

She developed a self-destructive pattern familiar to so many of us: fear and uncertainty led to bad feelings about herself and ultimately depression. The depression led to overeating, and her yo-yoing weight was painfully obvious in the bright lights of the entertainment world.

It has taken Janet most of her adult life to come to terms with who she is. But she has finally broken free of the attitudes that brought her down and has embraced realistic goals that help her eat better, exercise better, feel better, and ultimately be better. This book is about meeting those challenges that face all of us. With candor and courage, Janet shares her painful journey to loving herself. She addresses the crazy rumors that have swirled around her for most of her life, shines an intimate light on her family, and pulls us behind the velvet rope into her unforgettable career. She also shares lessons she has learned through contact with friends and fans and reveals the fitness secrets she has learned from her trainer. Finally, her nutritionist, David Allen, unveils the wholesome, delicious recipes and lifestyle-changing tips that helped Janet get in shape—mind and spirit, heart and soul.

True You is a call to tune in to your own fundamental wisdom, to let go of the ugly comparisons, and to understand that who you are, the true you, is more than enough.

OUTSTANDING!. They are normal people and go through all the same trials and tribulations. I understand what she goes through I feel exactly the same way.

Awesome!. Loved this book, better than expected! Definitely see Janet differently

Great!. I really loved this book. It was both inspirational and motivating!

True You. Okay. Nothing different than what I've heard over the years. I did identify with lack of control when it comes to maintaining weight. The ups and downs. Applaud Janet for her stamina and fitness routine. Hope she is one day blessed to have a family I.e. Husband and children.

Amazing!!!. She is talking about things that most people go through everyday!!! Amazing insight and very personal...beautiful pictures too!!

:). This book is real all the way (insider)

Janet is very personably and open.. I enjoyed it was a very easy ready. I felt she belabored the topic of her struggle with weight. If you are a Janet fan most of the things you probably already know. She does give more insight to some situations but definitely not a autobiography or a tell all. She also reiterate he love for her late brother The King of Entertainment Michael Jackson. I felt it was a little disjointed at times. The rare photographs will be nice for those who buy the hard copy and yes the pix are clear and in great quality but you sure can't save them in your archive. I give this book this rating but I can't wait for the real autobiography. Yet very helpful and inspiring for someone who suffers with self esteem and self acceptance. Thanks, JDJ love you much!

Luv u J. Great idea to include recipes. Ziti was very good!

A ray of light. Know that someone that I look up to can over come such adversities I know that I can! Janet I know you are with me in spirit now and that strength will help me over come cancer and the breakup of my marriage! Reading this book has saved my life and I thank you for helping me want to live! Always, Chance

Excellent. This is a must read! Excellent thank you Janet for sharing.

It's a nice book!. I can totally identify with weight fluctuations!

Great Book!!. I love Janet so much and just like her music, True You has inspired me to be more confident in myself! Thank You JJ! 

Ugh. Wasn't a bad book, but I guess I was expecting more about her life than weight loss.

Good book. Good

Audiobook!!???. Where’s Audio book?!! Hopefully next book

Deeply moving. It's rare that a star like Janet would share so much while still having so much shine left on her star. The book is insightful and motivating, but most of all it feels honest.

Inspiring. At the time I originally read this book I was still in a grieving process when I say it woke me up. I woke up so much and made so many life changes. Janet has helped me thru so many life problems it wasn’t shocking that she helped me thru that.

Awesome and Inspiring. I have always been a diehard Janet fan so of course I am bias. But this book is definitely a better and clearer glance into Janet's life. It showed me the even more human side of Janet, which is very different from the amazing extraordinary Janet that we all see on stage. She is an icon and my idol and the book portrayed that and more. It is definitely a book that anyone could connect to.

True You-Is the real deal.. Wonderful book. I related so much to Janet' s struggle with her image. I have always dealt with the same issues. Great read with really good advice.

Pro Janet!. I'm a long time fan. The book got me a tiny bit more closer to an entertainer/person I cherish & adore. Janet shares through film, music, lyrics & now textbook and makes an impact in every arena- thank you, Janet. I enjoyed the book. And while I can't say whether or not I will ever try any of those recipes, the fact that you cared enough to share them with us says a lot. HK

Janet. She was so real and intimate about her life and it made me see myself differently

Good read!. I really enjoyed Janet's candid insight into her world and personal issues. I suggested this book for my all female book club. I'm looking forward to the feedback.

Great!. I love how Janet is able to be so open and honest...very inspirational!

Mirror Image. I saw myself after reading this book. I can relate with a lot of Janet Problems when it came to eating. I am still struggling with my weight and the way I see myself. The internal problems Janet has and still struggles with are so real. I also look at myself as fat when I was young but I was not really fat but I did have some meat on my bones. I love the letters that Janet included from fans which showed that she really connected and cared about the people who supported her career. I used to be a good athlete and now I'm a fat out of shape women who is looking for some guidance. I will take away from this book how I can love me for me first and then work on the outside. Janet,s nutritionist seem like a great guy Who I wish I had in my corner. I will start slow and will work on myself inside out and remember what Janet says about being true to yourself and don't let anyone tell you different.

True You. I am a true Janet fan, & I love this book, really love the truthfulness about everything in this book. I will defiantly read this again & again. Thank you Janet for being honest & the true you! Blessings Miss Janet!

Inspirational. I love this book. Thank you Janet!

Very Touching and personal! Love it. I was surprised Janet shared so much with us in this book. I feel as though I went through the motions with her. I cried, I smiled, and I laughed. I read a lot of books and I’m a huge Janet Fan and to be honest some of the material in this book has changed my life and my way of viewing life. I am so grateful she chose to share her life for I have received life changing information that made me look deep within myself. Just a beautiful read. Thank You Janet!

Great book. I thought the book was candid, open, and honest in its purest form. Although Janet and her family throughout the years they have been a very private family. I think the book made me love and respect her and Jackson family even more. It revealed although celebrities lives aren't always what it seems we all must TRUST and believe in our Savior to get us through the good but especially the bad times. Janet......THANK YOU for sharing and continue to keep the faith.....

I Love You Janet. I love this book of Janet and her personal life. It goes to show that life itself isn't perfect. Thank you Janet for bring that to the light. Again much respect!!!! :-)

This is my story. I purchased the book this afternoon and began reading I could not put the book down. The story of the yo-yo diet and being an emotional eater is the story of my life. On December 1, I decided to change the way I eat and exercise and began eating healthy being careful of my food choices, I am doing ok but it does not seem like I am making the progress I need to make. I think the 21 day cleanse would help me. Thank you for this book it has really inspired me. I am inky mid 50's and my goal is to loose 80lbs.

True You Review!!!. I absolutely love this book. I read it in one night because I was in serious need of soaking in the message that this book sends. It shows how even celebrities and people who appear as if they have everything together can still be going through the same issues that normal people encounter and go through everyday. It also gives the reader a behind the scenes look at how Janet became who she is today. I love how she incorporates experiences from her friends and also fans who have wrote to her expressing how she has influenced some part of their life. This is a great read for those of us seeking guidance on finding themselves and gaining an appreciation for their own self worth!

The book.. Just downloaded the book. Read it. Amazing book. Much respect to Janet.

I loved it. I am a huge fan of Janet. This book was very motivational for me. I can honestly say that I am more aware of my own thoughts and I am more happy with my self and accepting of who I am. I love you Janet!!

Beautiful Book!. I've always been a fan of the art that Janet Jackson releases. I've also known about some of the issues and challenges she's faced in her life and career. However, I feel like I truly know her at a deeper level because of this book. I've struggled over the years with self-esteem; this book has confirmed convictions I now have about myself and have had for a long time now. Thank you, Janet, for being vulnerable and for releasing such a beautiful book. I recommend it.

Very inspiring and encouraging. I just read this in it's entirety, and my admiration for Janet, though never waned, is completely renewed on a whole new level. Her willingness to open up about the sources of her stress, so that we can understand context and the evolving "resolution," is very brave. As someone who has struggled with anorexia and dysmorphic disorder (I'm a dancer and model: It seems to go with the territory), I could hear my voice in Janet's words. It is encouraging to know that long term strategies I implemented instinctually are exactly like those she has described here. I think this is a wonderful read, and I recommend it to anyone struggling with self-esteem issues.

It's ok. It was fun to go through.

*****. Great read!

Beautifully Written. I truly enjoyed this book and all of its insight. Janet opened her heart and soul so that others dealing with the same issues could have that private therapy moment. Thank you!!!

Great storyteller. I am ready for her next book! This is awesome!

<3. I Love This Book, I Cant Believe She Told Us All Those Things Shes A Very PRIVATE Person

Excellent. Read the book in one sitting. Very honest and insightful. I have a lot of respect for her.

True You. Great book. Really made me feel better about myself. Love the recipes.

THIS BOOK OPENED MY EYES IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS!. Read it you will NOT regret it ! I do recommend if you are a learner that likes to hear from people them selves try to read in your head in voices meaning try to read in Janet’s voice as she is talking to you and not just writing it’ll make you have a better connection !!

Awesome!!. Awesome book thank you soo much Janet!! I love you for expressing yourself to not only me but the world!!! Great help and work!!!

Awesome read!. I love the book and I love Janet Jackson! I've dealt with self-esteem issues all of my life. It's cool to know that I can relate to someone as beautiful and talented as Janet regarding certain life experiences. I love her even more for sharing a piece of her struggles.

Refreshing and Real. It was nice to get a view into one of the most famous families in this century. It was also refreshing to read that Janet experiences the same issue that the rest of us experience. Weight, self-esteem and body issues are battles that most of us attempt to control and Janet gives us insight into her demons and the work that she continues to do to control them.

Enjoyable and motivating!. I enjoyed this book! Janet shows us that "things aren't always what they seem" and through her life experiences she shares with us, she encourages us to find the "true you" within us. It's like a bio-self-help book with tasty recipes to try!

true you. i love janet jackson and this book was amazing. i love it

Banal and boring: it could be anyone. If you take out the photos and a couple of anecdotes, this is a dear Abby column meets recipes-to-taunt-a-yo-yo-dieter. As someone who always thought Janet was tough as nails based on Control, Rhythm Nation and real based on The Velvet Rope and beyond, I thought there might be something unique. If I hadn't expected a memoir, maybe it'd be less dissatisfying.

True Me!. This was a great book. I felt like she was speaking my story. I wish it would have been longer but I'm happy to have read this book. It gave me great insight into what I need to do.
