Journalist Rina Raphael looks at the explosion of the wellness industry: how it stems from legitimate complaints, how seductive marketing targets hopeful consumers-and why women are opening up their wallets like never before. Wellness promises women the one thing they desperately desire: control.
What The Reviewers Say
Ms. Raphael keeps up a jaunty pace in The Gospel of Wellness and mixes her metaphors with cheerful abandon.
... a bubbly and engagingly thorough dissection of the modern wellness industry..
With wit and a keen eye for research, Raphael explains that 'the wellness industry isn’t well'.
Tour-de-force.
