Sunday Morning - A podcast by RNZ

The $7 trillion dollar wellness movement has encountered a backlash in recent times with many asking if the wellness craze is giving us a new lease on life or is it just an easy way to empty our wallets? Now there's a debut novel, a satire called THE GLOW. "A desperate young publicist tries to save her career by turning the charismatic leader of a grungy retreat center into the hot new self-care brand." The author is Jessie Gaynor, who writes for The New Yorker and the Wall Street Journal. Jessie joins us from Richmond, Virginia.
