It’s a highly-lucrative industry, but who really owns it? In her provocative new book, writer Fariha Roisin investigates the origin of wellness from the ancient civilizations of the East and traces it to present-day America.

Host Amanda de Cadenet listens in as Fariha opens up about her identity and spirituality.
