520 _aThe wellness industry promises to make you better, stronger, happier, healthy, and whole. "Buy this and you'll be happy"; "Eat this and you'll be healthy." And it sits back and profits from our sickness. Kelly examines the real-life cost of our obsession with self-improvement, and shows that to be truly well we don't need juice fasts or yoga fads. We need to detox from a culture rooted in perfectionism, white supremacy, and individualism-- and move toward a model that embodies mutual responsibility and extends beyond self-help to collective care. -- adapted from back cover
