The long and the short of this book is that yoga influencers are all batshit. If someone tells you they are a yoga influencer, run the other direction.
The three authors are themselves recovering from immersion in the woo-woo New Age world. Consipirituality aims its's crosshairs on several current wellness influencers as well as influencers of years past that paved the way for the current disinformation fuckstravaganza we currently live in. It examines the natural wellness to Fox News pipeline and runs the gamut between hilarious and just downright sad.
I'd recommend this to those that have an existing familiarity with the QAnon set and right-wing conspiracies in general or anyone that has always side-eyed the overzealous wellness crowd.
