Classic and loveable Betty Boop is as fashionable, inspiring, and popular as ever! If there's one thing Betty knows, it's how to make a lasting impression.

For more than 80 years, the glamorous international icon has sung, sashayed, and "Boop-Oop-a-Dooped" past rules and conventions, unafraid to take risks or set trends, and proving time after time that she can do anything she sets her mind to! Betty is beloved by millions of fans around the world, who are enchanted not only by her adorable appearance and iconic phrase, but also by her wit, inspiring messages, and ahead-of-her-time wisdom. Here the authors take ten empowering and universally inspiring themes pulled directly from the classic Fleischer Studios Betty Boop cartoons and demonstrate why they're more relevant than ever in today's world by blending them with modern images and timeless wisdom and advice.

All-encompassing topics include:

  • Self-confidence
  • Positive thinking
  • Independence
  • Kindness
  • Healthy living
  • And more!

Betty Boop's Guide to a Bold and Balanced Life showcases Betty as youthful, ambitious, sassy, and confident. She seeks to make a positive change in the world around her. She is vibrant and magneticβ€”she inspires. Betty is stylish and sexy, but never to please anyone but herself. She's got class. She's proud of who she is and won't apologise for it, approaching life with irrepressible moxie. And with her daring look, can-do attitude, and irresistible charm, Betty is ready for anything that comes her way.
