'A beautifully thoughtful, considered and candid read. As always, Katie’s trademark warmth and grace shines through’ - Stacey Dooley, TV presenter and author

Age is a gift not everybody is given…

When a life-threatening acid-attack left Katie Piper physically and visibly scarred at just 24, her approach to ageing was irrevocably changed: she now sees each passing year as a reminder of the privilege of being alive.

Over a decade on from sharing her story for the first time, Katie reflects on what it means to age well within a world that has too often made women feel irrelevant or invisible for going through the natural ageing process.

From how to know your worth to how to take up space in a society that tells you to be small, this audiobook will help you cultivate a confidence you can depend on and find the real beauty in getting older.

Katie Piper OBE is an icon of her generation. A prominent author, broadcaster and internationally recognised motivational speaker, she has been changing the landscape in the world of beauty for over a decade. She was the first woman with visible differences to appear in TV and billboard adverts for brands such as La Roche Posay and L’Oreal. Her charity The Katie Piper Foundation achieved Katie’s dream to provide the first rehabilitation centre in the UK for people with life altering burns and scarring. She continues to inspire millions of people all over the world with her bestselling books, her TV shows including her ITV breakfast show, her shows for U&W filmed in the USA, her podcasts and inspirational speaking.

Critics Review

A beautifully thoughtful, considered and candid read. As always, Katie’s trademark warmth and grace shines through. Her tendency to lean into the joy means I can’t WAIT TO hit 40! Another TRIUMPH Piper!
Stacey Dooley, TV presenter and author
A distinctive, rare gem of a book packed with raw, unfiltered honesty. I found myself both nodding along and feeling lightbulbs go on. I want to be in Katie's tribe and you will too.
Ranvir Singh, journalist and TV presenter
Still Beautiful invites us to reimagine what ageing and beauty should look like. Through Katie's powerful story, she teaches us that beauty is not in the eye of the beholder, but an intrinsic superpower that we define by just being (ourselves).
Dame Denise Lewis, Olympic champion, presenter and author
Katie is one of the most important voices today. She is motivating without being preachy. When Katie writes it's from the heart and her heart is full of love. She is always willing to help anyone and everyone and through her writing, she does exactly that!
Gaby Roslin, TV and radio presenter
This book has reframed my whole understanding of ageing. Katie's remarkable story has captured my heart for a long time - and this is her next chapter.
Christine Lampard, presenter and broadcaster
Everybody should read this book. The reflections into how Katie has shown resilience in the face of adversity are truly universal.
Shirley Ballas, dancer and TV presenter
Katie has written this book so that we are in her story with her but she wants us to think about the lessons we can all learn as they are universal. More power to you, Katie Piper, you're wonderful.
Carol Vorderman, broadcaster and author
I want to buy this book for every woman in my life! Katie encourages the reader to self-reflect and to learn about and embrace who they truly are where it matters...on the inside. She speaks from a place of her own unique experiences but with a powerful voice which will resonate with everyone who reads this book.
Lauren Silverman, Patron of the Katie Piper Foundation
Raw, brave and beautifully written. This is a book we all need to guide us into our second chapter with grace, resilience, appreciation and a sense of self-worth.
Lisa Snowden, presenter and model
Brave, bold and utterly inspiring. Thank you Katie for saying what many have struggled to put into words yet as women, we all continue to endure. In a world where many see vulnerability as weakness, Katie harnesses it as strength. Thank you Katie for exposing the ugly truth of what beauty costs us all. Every woman, and their daughters, should read this.
Myleene Klass MBE, broadcaster, musician and campaigner
Katie is so beautiful inside and out, and we see her blossom more each day. From her attack she had to survive - and in survival mode she had to go to the depths of her being - and she came back with a purpose she never chose. She is as fearless as she is kind, and she is so generous in sharing her story with us in Still Beautiful.
Dannii Minogue, singer and actress
I read this book whilst recovering from a second mastectomy and it was everything I needed. With so much humour, love and relatability Katie reminded me how grateful I am for my life, and my body for all it has been through and is yet to go through! I want every woman to read it!
Laura Smyth, Comedian
A blend of advice, throwing down the ageism gauntlet, and a movingly honest biography, this is an easy, life-affirming and empowering read.
Mail on Sunday
Part memoir and part self help guide, it’s an enlightening read.
