Destination Wellness

More about the book

Health and travel journalist Annie Daly combines on-the-ground reporting and personal narrative to explore off-the-beaten-path philosophies and practices for better living around the globe, as an antidote to America's toxic wellness industry. She travels to Jamaica, Brazil, Japan, India, Norway, and Hawaii to learn why their inhabitants are so much healthier and happier, and what we can learn from them. While these traditions may appear to have little in common, their roots provide an essential truth: living well isn't a trend-or a competition, and it certainly isn't something you can buy.
