It’s the most terrible time of the year!

Over the next week, I’m going to highlight some books I recommend to help you get through the New Year’s betterment barrage. My first selection covers that tactics wellness companies and influencers use to address most core New Year’s resolutions.

After holiday joy comes the New Year’s wellness scams. Okay, not really AFTER anymore. I started getting the weight loss, supplement, magic pill, new-fangled snake oil ads a couple of days before the main holiday. I’m still reporting and blocking them, which I highly recommend for true well-being.

How do you deal with all this nonsense? What’s true and what isn’t? How do you not feel bad about yourself and your body amidst the flurry of falsity and proliferation of transformation?

Read The Wellness Trap by Christy Harrison. Harrison deftly debunks every bit of disinformation, misinformation, lies, and other junk, including wellness industry-created diagnoses. Harrison divulges the truth about supplements and labels like “clean” and “natural” (spoiler: they’re marketing terms).

You’ll find at least one shocking revelation in this book. And you’ll discover that you’ve fallen for at least one wellness scam. Best of all, Harrison explains how to get from wellness to true well-being.
