"An intimate, honest, accountable, and thorough invitation into healing" -- adrienne maree brown, author of Pleasure Activism"This book is a powerhouse. " -- Ashley JuddThe myth of wellness is a lie. And until we learn to confront and dismantle its toxic systems, we can' t ever be well. Better, stronger, healthier, whole--the wellness industry promises us that with enough intention, investment, and positive thinking, we' ll unlock our best selves and find meaning and purpose in a chaotic and confusing world. The problem? It' s a lie. The industry soars upwards of $650 billion a year, but we' re still isolated, insecure, and inequitable. "Wellness" isn' t making us well; it' s making us worse. It diverts our attention and holds us back from asking the questions that do help us heal- Who gets to be well in America? Who' s harmed--and who' s left out? And what' s the real-life cost of our obsession with self-improvement? To be truly well, we don' t need juice fasts or yoga fads. We need to detox from a culture rooted in perfectionism, white supremacy, and individualism--and move toward a model that embodies mutual responsibility and extends beyond self-help to collective care. In American Detox, organizer, yoga activist, wellness disruptor, and CTZNWELL founder Kerri Kelly sounds the wake-up call. It' s time to commit to the radical work of unlearning the toxic messages we' ve been fed--to resist, disrupt, and dream better futures of what wellness really means.
"An intimate, honest, accountable, and thorough invitation into healing. " -adrienne maree brown, author of Pleasure Activism "American Detox is not only a wake-up call but a call to remember that if some of us aren' t well, none of us are well. " -MICHELLE C. JOHNSON, author of Finding Refuge "Urgent and unflinching. " -NICOLE CARDOZA, founder of Reclamation Ventures, author, and magician "This book is a powerhouse. " -ASHLEY JUDD, American actress and political activist "A brilliant call for the reimagining of what it means to be well in our world. " -TARA BRACH, author of Trusting the Gold "American Detox [reminds] us that we cannot purchase our way into well-being. It is built of the materials of interconnectedness and belonging, and without them we can' t manifest the highest form of wellness which is humanity' s wholeness. " -SONYA RENEE TAYLOR, author of the New York Times best seller, The Body Is Not an Apology "Kerri Kelly is radically committed to our well-being by teaching us how to ' be well' -within ourselves and with one another. " -LAYLA F. SAAD, New York Times best-selling author of Me and White Supremacy "American Detox is a blueprint for collective wellness, from an activist and healer who walks the walk with integrity, grace, and a revolutionary love. " -VALARIE KAUR, Sikh activist and best-selling author of See No Stranger "This book offers the reframe that is needed in a culture desperately seeking wellness and perfection while being bankrupt of the remembrance of our inherent wholeness. " -TRACEE STANLEY, best-selling author of Radiant Rest "Kerri, with her trademark dedication to fierce and honest self-examination, holds both herself and the culture of wellness accountable for the social dis-ease that continues to segregate health among its diverse citizenry. " -SEANE CORN, author of Revolution of the Soul "This book is a valiant, brave, and timely compass and tool that we need right now as so many navigate the often wild, predatory, and ailing space of the so-called wellness industry. " - OCTAVIA RAHEEM, founder of Starshine & Clay, a meditation and yoga studio for Black women and women of color, and author of Pause, Rest, Be ". . . a call-to-action to improve the wellness of our communities and the world at large, too. " -SAH D' SIMONE, spiritual revolutionary and best-selling author of 5-Minute Daily Meditations
