Kate Hudson to share 'Pretty Happy' health tips in Naperville

Kate Hudson of “Almost Famous” fame is now “Pretty Happy,” as she writes in her first book, a healthy lifestyles read by the same name.

The Golden Globe Award-winning actress is coming to Naperville on Feb. 20 to share her story with readers and explain what really leads to body confidence and fitness.

“When you understand yourself and connect to how you can become body-smart, you realize pretty quickly that the perfect, the ideal, is not the goal,” Hudson writes in the book. “Instead the goal is feeling good in your body. That's what leads to confidence, to feeling and looking fit and being pretty happy.”

Anderson's Bookshop is bringing Hudson to speak and sign books at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, at North Central College's Wentz Concert Hall, 171 E. Chicago Ave., in Naperville. Tickets are available at www.katehudsonandersons.brownpapertickets.com for $28.

In “Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body,” Hudson advises readers to plug into what their body needs and realize no health plan is one-size-fits-all. She focuses on the importance of what she terms the “four pillars” of health:

• Cultivating an intuitive relationship with your body;

• Eating well;

• Awakening your body through movement;

• The miracle of mindfulness.

Hudson, who gained fame for her roles in “Almost Famous” and “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” is the daughter of Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson, raised with Hawn's longtime partner Kurt Russell.

During her Naperville appearance, she's scheduled to give a short talk, answer questions from fans and sign copies of “Pretty Happy” but no other memorabilia. Fans will be allowed to take a quick photo with Hudson when they meet her in the signing line.
