A review by suzyreadsbooks
Who Is Wellness For?: An Examination of Wellness Culture and Who It Leaves Behind by Fariha Róisín

emotional reflective medium-paced

3.0

The title/marketing doesn’t seem to fit perfectly: it is mostly memoir, and many of the chapters had wide titles but took a very narrow approach through Róisín’s own experience with the topic (for example, the chapters on body dysmorphia and IBS). 
But once I got in rhythm with what this book was trying to do, I really appreciated it. Especially the second half (Part III: On Self Care and Part IV: Introduction to Justice).
I’d recommend the audiobook, read by the author.
