THE CULT OF WELLNESS – NONFICTION
Ellen Huet’s Empire of Orgasm: Sex, Power, and the Downfall of a Wellness Cult traces how OneTaste’s promise to change the world through orgasmic meditation spiraled into what former members describe as a cult of abuse and coercion. Drawing on years of reporting, Huet delivers an account of wellness gone wrong, recounting the sexual, emotional, and financial turmoil OneTaste caused for so many. A deeply researched exploration of the multibillion-dollar wellness industry, Amy Larocca’s How to Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure at a Time examines how wellness has shaped our ideas of health and self-care. Larocca peels back the layers of the $3.7 trillion movement, tracing its promises, profits, and history while exposing how the business of self-care preys on fear.
