Description

For readers of Hope in the Dark and Natural CausesThe myth of wellness is a lie And until we learn to confront and dismantle its toxic systems we cant ever be well

Better stronger healthier wholewere an America obsessed with selfseeking and selfperfection Weve bought into the idea that with enough intention dedication and green smoothies wellness is ours for the taking But despite a 650 billion industry and infinite good vibes we dont feel good We arent happy or healthy Were isolated unwell and inequitableand the myth of wellness is making it worse

In American Detox yoga activist wellness disruptor and CTZNWELL founder Kerri Kelly sounds a wakeup call We dont need more green juices and selfcare fadswe need to divest from the separation and scarcity that fuel the modern wellness movement and hold us back from making truly positive change for self and society In the singleminded pursuit of feeling good we fail to ask is all this selffocus really making the world a better place How does the stuff we consume in the name of wellness hurt communities and the planet Whom do we harm when we divorce wellness practices from their cultural origins and whos left out

To build wellness models designed for everyone we need to dismantle a culture rooted in exclusivity individualism consumerism and white supremacy We need to resist disrupt and dream better futures of what being well can really meanand do the inner work necessary to unlearn the harmful messages that weve internalized about what healthy looks like who gets to be well and why wellness is not a solo pursuit
Each chapter includes personal reflections and prompts for collective action to help readers reimagine wellness understand positionality and privilege and become agents for whole wellness on a societylevel scale
