A Whole New Approach to Your Body, Brain, and Life as a gURL is a 1999 teen advice and sex education book written by Esther Drill, Heather McDonald, and Rebecca Odes, the creators of the American website Gurl.com.

Esther Drill, Heather McDonald, and Rebecca Odes launched the website Gurl.com in May 1996 as their Master's Thesis project while they were graduate students at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University.

[3][4][5] Much like Gurl.com, Drill, McDonald, and Odes intended for the book to be a resource for teenage girls that would properly address their concerns and educate them on life choices.

"[7] The book offers advice on teen-related concerns such as puberty, queer identities, sex, eating disorders, drug use, and mental health,[10] based on information screened by experts.

[12] Similar to the website, the authors opted to use illustrations of women instead of photos to avoid issues with body image.

[6] To promote Deal With It!, Odes, Drill, and McDonald launched an accompanying website, DealWithIt.com, including an online version of the resources.

[15] Women's Wear Daily described the book as "witty" and that it carries a "non-judgmental and upbeat tone.

[9] John Malam from The Guardian found the book commendable, describing it to have advice that empowers its readers instead of lecturing them.
