Conspirituality: How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat This book explores the intersection of New Age spirituality and wellness with far-right conspiracy theories, revealing the ways in which influencers have spread misinformation and manipulated people's trust. The authors, who have been investigating this phenomenon through their podcast, examine the tactics used by alt-health practitioners and conspiracy trolls to control and deceive their followers. The book offers a critical analysis of the New Age and wellness spheres, exposing the frauds, cons, and cults that have emerged in recent years. With a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of vaccine misinformation, Conspirituality provides a timely and insightful look at the ways in which conspiracy theories can be used to manipulate and control people.
