The wellness syndrome / Carl Cederström, Andre Spicer. by Cederström, Carl, 1980- Polity, 2015. Call #: 613 C389w Subjects Well-being.   Health behavior.   Health promotion.   Attitude to Health.   Conduct of life.   Quality of life. ISBN:  9780745655611 Description:  163 p. ; 22 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  "In this ground-breaking new book, Carl Cederström and André Spicer argue that the ever-present pressure to maximize our wellness has started to work against us, making us feel worse and provoking us to withdraw into ourselves. The Wellness Syndrome follows health freaks who go to extremes to find the perfect diet, corporate athletes who start the day with a dance party, and the self-trackers who monitor everything, including their own toilet habits. This is a world where feeling good has become indistinguishable from being good. Visions of social change have been reduced to dreams of individual transformation, political debate has been replaced by insipid moralising, and scientific evidence has been traded for new-age delusions. A lively and humorous diagnosis of the cult of wellness, this book is an indispensable guide for everyone suspicious of our relentless quest to be happier and healthier."--From publisher.
