Who Is Wellness For?: An Examination of Wellness Culture and Who It Leaves Behind

In Who Is Wellness For?, multi-disciplinary artist and author Fariha Róisín explores the commodification of wellness through a social justice lens. Drawing from her experiences as a Bangladeshi Muslim growing up in Australia and later in the U.S., Róisín critiques how global healing traditions are appropriated and marketed as luxury wellness goods, often excluding the very cultures they originate from. This thought-provoking book, part memoir and part investigative journalism, offers a deep dive into meditation, trauma, and self-care, advocating for a more inclusive approach to well-being that encompasses everyone’s needs.
