out of the sun. None of this is to keep young but just to keep “me” an aging me, but me nonetheless, given I’ve been doing it all since an early age. Hair color more recent. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, its big business, big bucks even back in the day, sixties before Jane Fonda VDO’s hit the market, when my Father ran a health club, it was all about the money, the kick backs doctors receive from the pharmaceuticals for the prescriptions
they write also go back to the sixties, I know this from experience. Some things never change and the baby boomers, those who were sure they should never listen to anyone over the age of 30, aka Mick Jagger, maybe why we have left the mess for future generations
as we have. <o:p></o:p></p>

Ehrenreich contemplates with some satisfaction not just the approach of her own death but also the passing of her generation. As the boomers have aged, denial of death, she argues, has moved to the center of American culture, and a vast industrial ecosystem
has bloomed to capitalize on it. Across twelve chapters, Ehrenreich surveys the health care system, the culture of old age, the world of “mindfulness,” and the interior workings of the body itself, and finds a fixation on controlling the body, encouraged by
cynical and self-interested professionals in the name of “wellness.” Without opposing reasonable, routine maintenance, Ehrenreich observes that the care of the self has become a coercive and exploitative obligation: a string of endless medical tests, drugs,
wellness practices, and exercise fads that threaten to become the point of life rather than its sustenance. Someone, obviously, is profiting from all this.<br>
