The Gray Area with Sean Illing
The Pitfalls of Life Coaching and Wellness Culture
This chapter critiques the life coaching industry, likening it to a pyramid scheme where established coaches exploit aspiring ones for profit through expensive courses. It also examines the wellness industry's dubious marketing practices, particularly regarding supplements and alternative therapies, and highlights the lack of regulatory oversight that leads to consumer deception and health risks. The discussion questions the narrative of meritocracy and the American Dream, shedding light on systemic inequalities that contribute to the cycle of success and failure.
