À propos de cet audio

 Conspirituality takes a deep dive into the troubling phenomenon of influencers who have curdled New Age spirituality and wellness with the politics of paranoia—peddling vaccine misinformation, tales of child trafficking, and wild conspiracy theories.

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, a disturbing social media trend emerged: a large number of yoga instructors and alt-health influencers were posting stories about a secretive global cabal bent on controlling the world’s population with a genocidal vaccine. Instagram feeds that had been serving up green smoothie recipes and Mary Oliver poems became firehoses of Fox News links, memes from 4chan, and prophecies of global transformation.

Since May 2020, Derek Beres, Matthew Remski and Julian Walker have used their Conspirituality podcast to expose countless facets of the intersection of alt-health practitioners with far-right conspiracy trolls. Now this expansive and revelatory book unpacks the follies, frauds, cons and cults that dominate the New Age and wellness spheres and betray the trust of people who seek genuine relief in this uncertain age.

Each of the three authors has witnessed firsthand the use of fear-based political agendas to manipulate the human desire for spiritual fulfillment. They throw a spotlight on the telltale signs of cult dynamics and expose how influencers have stoked suspicion of public health initiatives. And they show how charlatans and pseudo-doctors encourage their followers to oppose mainstream advice as a form of spiritual quest.

With analytical rigor and flashes of irreverent humor, Conspirituality offers an antidote to our times, helping readers recognize wellness grifts, engage with loved ones who've fallen under the influence, and counter lies and distortions with insight and empathy.

I've been listening to the Consprituality podcast only for a few months before purchasing the audiobook. It has helped me move through the confusing landscape of health and wellness influencers, online political extremism, and the seductiveness of new age spirituality.

Great narration.

Thank you so much for this book. It is well timed and well needed.

Really important work

This book is an important look into how human beings become vulnerable to belief systems. Up until quite recent I had consumed most of the grifters’ messages without question from the health and wellness world highlighted on the podcast. Both the podcast and this book have helped me tremendously, as in to question where these leaders, influencers and bio hackers get their information and what they’re selling. When you peel back the layers, most are selling eugenics and the idea that with enough hacks, discipline and good intention, we can rise to the top of the biology hierarchy and be the moral chosen ones. I am so grateful for the work of Matthew, Derek and Julian to be a counter narrative to all the health, wellness and spiritual BS we’re bombarded with through the algorithms.

The narration by Matthew Remski is so beautiful I can listen to him for hours. I have been a fan of the ConSpirituality podcast since it began and the book doesn’t disappoint. The authors have done a remarkable job. Anyone who knows someone drawn into wellness/new age spiritualism, the anti-vax movement and Q Anon will have a much better understanding of the key players and leaders, the different movements’ origins, modern incarnations and how these movements have converged, showing up in our modern political arenas. Absolutely a must read.

A very important read. The writing is beautiful, the research is impeccable,
