Description
The Wellness Syndrome by Carl Cederström and André Spicer is a thought-provoking diagnosis of our modern obsession with wellness. In this insightful book, the authors argue that the relentless pursuit of happiness and health has become a double-edged sword, leading to feelings of shame and withdrawal. The authors explore the extremes taken by those seeking optimal wellness, from self-tracking to extreme dieting, and examine how this culture is shaping our individualism and social change. A lively and humorous critique of the wellness cult, The Wellness Syndrome offers a necessary guide for anyone questioning the costs of our relentless quest for happiness and health. With its engaging tone and incisive analysis, this book provides a valuable perspective on the complex relationships between individualism, politics, and science in our modern world.
