More about the book

Exploring the commercialization of health, this book delves into the creation of various diseases, such as penis-size anxiety and internet addiction, revealing how these inventions transform society into a patient population. Jörg Blech uncovers the underlying motives of those who profit from these fabricated conditions, shedding light on the intersection of health, marketing, and societal pressures. The investigation raises critical questions about the ethics of medicalization and the impact on individual well-being.
