Synopsis

True well-being isn't hard to find. You just have to know where to look. In this insightful, full-color tour of Jamaica, Norway, Hawai'i, Japan, India, and Brazil, wellness and travel journalist Annie Daly shares a diverse array of philosophies, lifestyles, and practices for better living.

Fed up with the commercialization of the wellness industry after working in it for years, Annie embarked on an inspiring adventure through some of the world's happiest and healthiest cities and villages to find out what we can learn from them. Whether she's hiking along gorgeous fjords in Norway to see why Norwegians are so dedicated to getting outside, soothing her spirit with Hawaiian salt water cleanses, or learning about the importance Brazilians place on community, Annie combines on-the-ground reporting with heartful personal narrative to share the global lessons, philosophies, and customs that prove that wellness is not about the products—it's about the way you live your life.

With candid photography, lesser-known history sidebars, and guidance on how to incorporate these often ancient and always timeless practices into your own lifestyle, this culturally-immersive read invites you to view the world through a different lens and decide what being well means to you.

Destination Wellness is the perfect book for:

• Anyone who has embraced hygge and is looking for new lifestyle inspiration
• Armchair travelers and staycationers
• Happiness and inspiration seekers
• Wellness and travel enthusiasts
• History lovers

Goodreads review by Vanessa

Not only did I find the honesty and candidness refreshing, I found myself sitting in much gratitude, which manifested in a sigh of relief, that Annie Daly took on this topic because it's completely grazed over. I, too, have also found myself incredibly skeptical and frustrated with the commodity of......more

Goodreads review by Audrey

I really enjoyed reading about Daly’s wellness adventures. Just having come back from a trip to Jamaica myself, I loved that Jamaica is where she started, though instead of what was likely more like a Jamaica theme park that I saw, she immersed herself in a more authentic Jamaican cultural experienc......more

Goodreads review by JRYKK

Annie Daily is a freelance writer who focuses on wellness - and at some point started to question why we have to pay so much for the concept of wellness here in the US. So she sets off around the world to understand wellness in other cultures - Jamaica, Norway, Hawai’i, Japan, India, and Brazil - an......more
