Rina really knows her sh*t' Jameela Jamil'Next level revelatory' Sarah Knight, internationally-bestselling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ckWhat happens when the cure becomes as bad as the disease?Women are pursuing their health like never before. Whether it's juicing, biohacking, clutching crystals, or sipping collagen, today there is something for everyone, as the wellness industry has grown from modest roots into a $4.4 trillion movement, promising health and vitality in the most fashionable package. So why are we suddenly all feeling so unwell?Vividly told and deeply reported, The Gospel of Wellness reveals how this obsession is a direct result of gender inequalities and structural sexism within medicine and society. And while wellness may have sprung from good intentions, we are now relentlessly bombarded with exploitative offerings, questionable ideas, and a mounting pressure to maintain an illusion of control.Balancing the good with the bad, wellness industry journalist Rina Raphael offers a clear-eyed exploration of what wellness can actually offer us, knocking down the false idols that have taken hold and ultimately showing how we might shape a better future for the movement - and for our well-being.

Recenzii

An excellent exposé of the "wellness" industry
Excellent ... Rina really knows her shit ... I'm so grateful for this book
Next-level revelatory ... You'll never look at an Instagram ad for organic face wash the same way again
Dives deeply and thoroughly into the pros and cons of the [wellness] industry
An index of the contemporary West's most mindless fads ... Tells a story bigger than its purported subject
Playful but thought-provoking ... For a light-hearted look at an industry that is dominating a lot of our lives, this one's a good read
A revealing new book ... The vast wellness industry, its place in women's lives and what this says about the state of the world today
Navigates the false promises, fads and filters ... and asks how we can build a better well-being movement
It's so nuanced, it's so well-researched ... and I loved it
Her aim isn't to demonise wellness ... What she does is unmask the way that the wellness industry has taken good ideas about nutrition and fitness and made it into this individualist mandate that's filled with fear and productivity pressure
A bubbly and engagingly thorough dissection of the modern wellness industry
An utterly juicy deep dive for wellness devotees and skeptics alike. The perfect balance of criticism and empathy for a movement that meant well
The intimate balance she strikes between her skeptical, curious investigation and her honest relationship with consumerism gives The Gospel of Wellness its intelligent, emotional punch
A deeply honest look from a woman's perspective ... a well needed antidote to the usual victim-blaming and cruel optimism by helping us see the wider structural and social issues underlying our cultural angst
Readable, entertaining, surprising, and illuminating
A smart, reassuring read that you'll want to keep on hand for the next time Instagram tries to convince you that this supplement or that expensive new workout trend is The One
Shows us with startling prose why this industry deserves more scrutiny and oversight
You'll never hear the phrases "natural," or "free from harsh chemicals,"' "detox," "clean eating," or "cleanse" the same way again
Entertaining ... The pleasure of this book is that it is an inside job: a series of dispatches from the other side of the looking glass
Acutely aware of the pressures put on women ... Raphael speaks from experience [and] warns against a lucrative wellness industry that she argues preys on people's desperation for a 'quick fix' to being exhausted, overworked and over-stimulated by our busy society
