How Did Wellness Become Our New Religion?

“In place of religion, we now have spirituality (or pseudo-spirituality). Instead of church, we do elaborate #selfcaresunday rituals. We get baptized at Burning Man. We pay tithings to yoga studios. Wellness has in many ways become our new religion, with practitioners, instructors, and coaches its priests, imams, and rabbis.” - Quartzy

There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
