Dalia Kinsey opens this book by talking about how white, heteronormative, and cisnormative most wellness books are and how the aim of the book was to be there for the people who don't fit in those narrow crevices. This book absolutely accomplished that. It was full of helpful tips and information showing not just how to be well but why we are unwell and how focusing on our wellness is an act of rebellion. 

A quote that encapsulates the message and writing style of this book is "Our goal is not immortality through kale smoothies and carrot juice. We are here to live full, joyful, authentic lives. Any practice that we decide to take into our lives needs to be in alignment with that purpose. Instead of living under the delusion that we can achieve immortality through 'good behavior,' it is far more empowering to focus on treasuring the lives we have."

The only problems I found were that at times the writing seemed inaccessible, a bit too academic if someone wasn't familiar with this language. I also found the beginning to be a bit disorganized and repetitive, but it definitely improved in the second half.

Overall, this is a great read for people who want a wellness book that is culturally informed and understands how society impacts our health. I'm so excited for any future book Dalia Kinsey might release!
