The Gospel of Wellness: Gyms, Gurus, Goop, and the False Promise of Self-Care

Is the new wave of "self-care" and "wellness" advice all it's hyped up to be? Or is it a symptom and extension of the dismissal that women face living under repressive systems? This book suggests that despite good intentions the wellness craze has led to some troubling consequences. Rina Raphael brings her empathy, critical eye, and background in journalism to explore the explosion of self-care marketing directed towards women, in a quest to see what works and what doesn't. This book goes further to investigate what real wellness and self-care can offer us, and how to truly create the life we want for ourselves.
