Detoxed
When the Self-Help Industry Collapses OvernightBy Akiel Barton
Length11h 26m
About this audiobook
They're selling miracles. Someone's about to sell them out.
Six days. Four wellness empires. One investigative journalist sitting on the story that will burn it all down. Derek is moving $500 bags of colored glass. Tyler is filling auditoriums with desperate dreamers. Maria is charging $89 for a dollar-fifty of chamomile. Jake is posting transformation selfies between injections. Business is booming — and none of them see Rosa Martinez coming.
But this isn't just a story about con artists. It's about the millions of people who needed to believe them — and what happens to a culture that learns to sell people the best version of themselves they'll never become.
Sharp, savage, and wickedly funny, Detoxed follows five unforgettable characters through a six-day countdown toward reckoning. Each fraudster gets exactly what they deserve. The believers get something far more complicated.
