About this ebook



  • Brigid exposes the commodification of the Wellness industry, and explore what it is about modern life that result in our tendency to swing between hedonism and health.  


  • The drive for wellness and the clean, lean and serene life has led to orthorexia, a term for an eating disorder characterised by a fixation with healthy eating. 


  • The first ever Goop Summit this year drew mass criticism for being "a prohibitively expensive, celebrity-studded self-help salon".

    This book is about one woman travelling the globe in search of wellness. She tries an extreme fast and cleanse (did not sell me on those at all, quite icky by the sounds of it), then gets deeply involved in yoga, and then searches for serenity through meditation. It was an interesting read as the author describes herself finding balance between wellness and hedonism and she describes in graphic detail her adventures and gives a picture of her quest for wellness and how it fits into her life.
