LOVE YOUR BOOKSHOP DAY: PROMOTIONS
Cosmetics entrepreneur, medical research trailblazer, and Women's Hall of Fame inductee Victoria Jackson founded the global powerhouse brand Victoria Jackson Cosmetics. With her creation of the ""No Makeup"" makeup aesthetic, she irrevocably altered the beauty landscape and became the first person to market a cosmetics line on television. During her decade-long run on QVC, she developed more than six hundred products and generated a billion dollars in sales. Then in 2008, when her young daughter was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder and given four years to live, the mother of three shifted her focus from mascara to medicine. She and her husband, Bill Guthy, founder of the marketing behemoth Guthy-Renker, established The Guthy Jackson Charitable Foundation to fund research on NMO treatments and a cure. Victoria's unrelenting determination proved effective: In 2016, the foundation developed the first NMO therapeutic, and soon after, three therapies received FDA approval. The unprecedented pace of that accomplishment prompted the American Academy of Neurology to declare 2019 ""The Year of NMO."" In recognition of Victoria's unswerving dedication to the NMO community, as well as her foundation's groundbreaking research, feminist icon Gloria Steinem inducted her into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2016. The following year at the Vatican, Victoria accepted the Pontifical Key Advocacy Award for her personal and visionary approach to advancing the understanding of NMO around the globe. She has authored four books, including The Power of Rare: A Blueprint for a Medical Revolution. In 2021, her entrepreneurial journey came full circle when she partnered with Ellen DeGeneres to launch Kind Science, a skincare line. Throughout the narrative, readers will find real-world tools for navigating worry.
“Victoria is much more than a warrior. She’s a survivor who has turned her hardship into a lifetime of service. This is a woman who was brutally attacked by the Pillowcase Rapist as a child and yet she has forged ahead, offering hope to women in prison, child sex trafficking victims, and those, like her daughter, living with auto-immune disorders. In these pages, she now extends her generosity to the millions coping with worry. We All Worry, Now What? is at once a riveting account and a clarion call to readers: to move beyond endless self-doubt and rumination and finally embrace their freedom.” —Gloria Steinem, feminist icon “We’re not meant to be perfect, but whole—to evolve into the most authentic versions of ourselves as we reflect on our experiences with renewed clarity. We All Worry, Now What? is a companion for that journey, a compendium of wisdom to light the path.” —Jane Fonda, Oscar and Emmy award–winning actor, author, and activist ""In Victoria's book, she shares with the world the dear friend I know her to be: insightful, thoughtful, and generous of spirit. She has convened a strong group of individuals who share their stories of resilience, moments of levity, and tools to thrive against all odds."" —Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex “Every one of us experiences anxiety, whether or not we’re aware of it. It’s the human condition. Even the most successful and seemingly confident person is still that anxious 12-year-old he or she once was. We may grow up, but we don’t outgrow our worries. We just learn to manage them. That’s why We All Worry, Now What? is such an important book, even more so during our turbulent times. Worry isn’t going away; in fact, it’s intensifying. In this treasure trove of wisdom, my dear friend Victoria has gifted us with an invaluable guide for how to cope.” —Sherry Lansing, former Chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures and the first woman to head a major film studio “Victoria Jackson has written a book that is as poignant as it is powerful. We all have our ways of coping with anxiety in a world that is filled with it, and Victoria has brought together a wealth of ideas and stories to help us navigate the path. What a gem of a book—and what an inspiration my friend is to the millions who will be moved by these pages.” —Kris Jenner, business mogul and momager “Victoria Jackson’s We All Worry, Now What? is a well-being journey as inspiring as its author. In one moving story after another, Victoria—childhood rape survivor, cosmetics pioneer, medical research trailblazer, and above all, mom on a mission—shares how she has risen from crippling anxiety and rumination to a life of empowered action. In true Victoria fashion, as she rises she lifts all of us with her.” —Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global “There’s a general state of anxiety in these times, and no one is better equipped to lead the world in coping with our worry than Victoria Jackson. She doesn’t just write about the Warrior Walk: for years I’ve watched her actually live the lessons in this important book. I’m in awe of her tenacity and courage, and I’m hopeful that her message will spark a global conversation.” —Aimée Mullins, actor, model, and double-amputee Paralympic champion sprinter “For me, the first step to getting out of an anxiety spiral is to check in with myself: What’s really going on? The second step is now to reach for We All Worry, Now What?, Victoria Jackson’s practical guide to moving beyond endless rumination and discovering your true strength. Brava, Victoria—the world needs this exceptional book.” —Monica Lewinsky, producer, author, activist, and TED speaker “We All Worry, Now What? isn’t just another personal growth guide. It’s a wellness journey that Victoria’s still navigating with so much gratitude and grace. We’re all connected to one another, and her hard-won lessons and heartfelt message bring us even closer. Like her book, Victoria is a gift—a warrior whose true passion is extending love to others.” —Yogi Cameron, Ayurvedic practitioner, speaker, author, and wellness ambassador “We all experience anxiety, yet we don’t always know how to work through those feelings and emotions. We All Worry, Now What? provides us with a brilliant guide, offering a five-step journey to move from debilitating anxiety and fear to a purpose-filled path of freedom.” —Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author, speaker, coach, and host of the On Purpose podcast
