The Gospel of Wellness: Gyms, Gurus, Goop and the False Promise of Self-Care | Rina Raphael

pick

4/5

I think anyone who enjoyed the section in Cultish on cult fitness, is going to love this deep dive into the wellness industry and the ways it has come to take over some the space religion traditionally held. From fitness to crystals, the book talks about how the Wellness industry has become what it is both the good and the bad.

Trigger warning for discussions of eating disorders.

If you think I‘m not going to do this absolutely perfect assignment with my students, you are wrong. 😂 This is a modern re-telling of Shakespeare‘s The Tempest. Felix (Prospero) has been ousted from his job. To get revenge, he becomes a theater teacher at a prison. This was a fun read. I may be biased, though, because I haven‘t found an Atwood I don‘t like. My #DoubleBookSpin for September! I ordered my #bookspin book and it just came in today!

ChaoticMissAdventures In college one of my classes had us read the Tempest and then watch the old Forbidden Planet movie. Still one of my favorite assignments! 2w

The Spinster Book | MYRTLE REED

I‘ve had this list saved for a while, but this semester has been busy! I‘m enjoying student teaching so far! ☺️ I will say, this is a different kind of busy than my usual! As always, this mood-reader is staying with the same list. I will say, though, it is making me read books that have been languishing on my TBRs for years! Yay!! #BookSpin #DoubleBookSpin
