Description

The Wellness Syndrome by Carl Cederström and André Spicer is a thought-provoking critique of our modern obsession with wellness. In this insightful book, the authors argue that the relentless pursuit of happiness and health has created a culture where feeling good has become indistinguishable from being good. The authors explore how this phenomenon has led to extremes in dieting, exercise, and self-tracking, often at the expense of individual freedom and social connection. With humour and wit, they diagnose the cult of wellness and offer a timely warning about the dangers of over-regulation and moralising. This book is an essential guide for anyone who feels suspicious of our relentless quest to be happier and healthier.
