Krátky popis
In this in-depth, provocative criticism of the wellness industry,
journalist Rina Raphael examines the history of an industry that
modestly began with diets and calisthenics and has grown into the
current mammoth entity of luxe self-care. Whether it's yoga,
pilates, barre, spinning, juicing, floating or chanting, there is
something for everyone in an industry promising women health and
vitality in the most fashionable package. At times both fun and
funny, from interviews with leading players in the industry to
adventures in more bizarre practices such as desert dancing while
drinking your own urine, The Gospel of Wellness reveals how its
growth is a direct result of gender inequalities and structural
sexism within medicine and society, forcing women to look elsewhere
for health solutions.In theory a huge force for good, women are now
flooded with offerings from more exploitative areas of the
industry, peddling snake oil and questionable ideas for a pretty
price. Balancing the bad with the good, the book considers what
wellness offers now and what lies ahead. For anyone who values
their exercise but has raised an eyebrow at the use of a certain
jade egg, here is a lively exploration of an industry that has
captivated millions of women around the world.
