It’s a highly-lucrative industry, but who really owns it? In her provocative new book, writer Fariha Roisin investigates the origin of wellness from the ancient civilizations of the East and traces it to present-day America. As a Muslim, queer, Bangladeshi-Canadian, Fariha’s own intersectionality is brilliantly demonstrated as she questions the way wellness has been adopted by Western culture. But is Fariha right? Host Amanda de Cadenet listens in as Fariha opens up about her identity and spirituality.
