«The Wellness Syndrome» is the political philosophy essay by Carl Cederström and André Spicer, published by Polity in paperback (200 pages, in English).
The book argues that the pressure to maximize wellbeing produces the opposite effect: malaise, guilt and isolation. Cederström and Spicer portray diet obsessives, executives who dance every morning and self-trackers who record everything; in that world, feeling good is confused with being good and social change is reduced to the individual.
Published on February 23, 2015, it is the first paperback edition and includes bibliographic references and an index.
For readers critical of the wellness and self-help cult, and also for those interested in political philosophy and sociology.
