“This book peels away the gloss and hype about ‘wellness’ to give an unvarnished view of the topic from the front lines, delivered with poignancy from those working in the trenches with the most vulnerable among us. Here, the importance of culture and community ring out as different chapter authors reveal perspectives of those who are disabled, infected, addicted, or lonely. Here, you’ll find the perspective of African-Americans reviving traditional food choices, of indigenous people grappling with historical trauma, of women beset by addiction struggling to keep their children while dealing with intergenerational trauma, and even resident physicians suffering abuse in a stressed, often toxic environment.”
