Summary

For decades, we've been lectured by experts and authority figures on the importance of dieting, exercising, and living in prescribed ways-- only to have that advice refuted and replaced by something new. Gerasimo argues that in an unhealthy society like ours, being a healthy person requires choices and patterns so unconventional they amount to a positive form of social deviance. She explains how we can reclaim our health and happiness by breaking away from the systems that have been breaking us down. Her "Renegade Rituals" (plus daily readings, worksheets, reminders, and progress tracking tools) will put you firmly back in charge of your own wellbeing
