The Health and Wellness Lie is incendiary, and necessarily so, because we live swamped in a world of wellness lies, hype and bullshit, and the whole exploitative industry needs to be exposed and burnt to the ground. Tiller is holding the match. * Adam Rutherford, science writer and broadcaster * Nick Tiller takes us on an eye-opening romp through the 'Wellness Industry' that promises but does not deliver simple cures for complex problems. Along the way he skewers homeopaths, anti-vaxxers, dodgy supplement promoters, uncredentialed 'influencers' and celebrities who peddle pseudoscience. Facts are separated from myths, bamboozlers from scientists ... an illuminating book! * Joe Schwarcz, Professor, Director of McGill Office for Science and Society * The wellness industry is worth trillions. And it is mostly a massive and harmful grift. How did we get here? Why do so many of us fall for the spin? And what can we do about it? Nick Tiller tackles these critical questions in the engaging, readable, and beautifully researched The Health and Wellness Lie. Indeed, given the growing dominance of misinformation, science-free influencers, and profit-driven health trends, Tillers book should be viewed as essential reading, a much-needed light during dark times! * Timothy Caulfield, professor and best-selling author of The Science of Celebrity and The Certainty Illusion * A scholarly tour de force, debunking the myths and scams of the modern wellness industry. Bravo. A great read. * Dr Chris Van Tulleken, best-selling author of Ultra-Processed People *
