The gospel of wellness : gyms, gurus, Goop, and the false promise of self-care / Rina Raphael.

Raphael, Rina, (author.).

Summary:
"Journalist Rina Raphael looks at the explosion of the wellness industry: how it stems from legitimate complaints, how seductive marketing targets hopeful consumers-and why women are opening up their wallets like never before. Wellness promises women the one thing they desperately desire: control. 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 dollar entity and a full-blown movement promising health and vitality in the most fashionable package. But why suddenly are we all feeling so unwell?
