2.5
This book is not an in-depth critique of the wellness industry in the West with all its harmful cultural appropriation, classism, fatphobia, capitalist overconsumption, etc.
You can catch glimpses of many those critiques but the author only scratches the surface and frequently relies on quotes from others to get her point across which makes her analysis feel unoriginal.
