Natural Causes by Barbara Ehrenreich
An Epidemic of Wellness, the Certainty of Dying, and Killing Ourselves to Live Longer
A trenchant critique of the modern wellness movement and our obsession with controlling aging, arguing that many preventive health measures are overhyped, sometimes harmful, and distract from social and environmental causes of mortality. Drawing on epidemiology, personal narrative, and cultural analysis, it challenges the assumption that lifestyle choices alone determine longevity, highlights trade-offs and uncertainties in medical interventions, and urges a more honest acceptance of death alongside collective solutions to health inequities and environmental risks.
