What have the hippies ever done for us? Matthew Ingram explores the relationship between the summer of love and wellness, medicine, and health.
The counterculture of the Sixties and the
Seventies is remembered chiefly for music, fashion, art, feminism, computing,
black power, cultural revolt and the New Left. But an until-now unexplored, yet no
less important aspect — both in its core identity and in terms of its ongoing
significance and impact — is its relationship with health.
In this popular and illuminating cultural
history of the relationship between health and the counterculture, Matthew
Ingram connects the dots between the beats, yoga, meditation, psychedelics,
psychoanalysis, Eastern philosophy, sex, and veganism, showing how the hippies
still have a lot to teach us about our wellbeing.
