Summary:
"
Celebrity
culture
's grip on our society has tightened. This
culture
has a measurable influence on individual life choices and health-care decisions. The author identifies and debunks the messages and promises that flow from the
celebrity
realm, whether they are
about
health, diet, beauty, or what is supposed to make us happy. As he did so in The Cure for
Everything
, Caulfield separates sense from nonsense and provides useable and evidence-informed advice
about
what actually works and what is a waste of money and time. In typical Caulfield manner, he tries the celebrity-recommended beauty routines and diets. After attending a modeling competition, he enrolls in an assessment/audition for a modeling agency in Hollywood. He follows
celebrity
Twitter feeds, reads gossip blogs and forces himself to read every issue -- cover to cover -- of People Magazine, for an entire year, in his quest to understand the relationship between
celebrity
culture
and our individual health choices"--Provided by publisher.
