The second part was interesting to me only because of the sociological implications. I don’t really want to become famous, and don’t know very many people who have that set as their goal so it didn’t have much of a personal impact. However, I know A TON of people who listen to celebrities on topics like diet, detox and vaccines.

Why are we so drawn to celebrities? Why are we so certain that we will be successful? And why do we find the opinions of celebrities so authoritative? All these topics will be explored in detail. ( ) Juva | May 27, 2016 | Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.#1 -- I'm not yet done with the book #2 -- I LOVE the title and the premise of the book 'm about halfway through it and have enjoyed it so far. I do find myself talking about the different chapters with co-workers and the hubby and I think they hope I finish this book soon! The author covers just about every celebrity endorsement you can think of (tanning, cleansing, gluten vs. gluten free, cosmetics, etc.) and some of what he says makes me laugh at loud. While I love that he is backing up his opinion(s) with science and research that's the part that gets me off track and a bit bored. So, I move on to the next topic. Snail excrement facial anyone?!

"An exploration of the effect our celebrity-dominated culture has on our ideas of living the good life Our perceptions of beauty, health, success, and happiness are framed by a popular culture that is increasingly disconnected from reality. This isn't just a hyperbolic assertion. Research tells us that our health decisions and goals are influenced by both celebrity culture and celebrity endorsements, that our children's ambitions are now overwhelmingly governed by the fantasy of fame, and that our ideals of beauty and success are mediated through a celebrity-dominated worldview. The celebrity brand is at once the most desired state of being (modern-day royalty!) and one of the most socially problematic. Health law and policy researcher Timothy Caulfield provides a fun look into the celebrity world, including interesting facts and anecdotes, as well as a boatload of practical and evidence-based advice on everything from diet, skin care, and colon cleanses to detoxing from our celebrity ambitions. Caulfield tries out for American Idol, has a professional makeover, and endures the Gwyneth Paltrow-endorsed cleanse in this thoroughly unique, engaging, and provocative book"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I did feel the book went topic when if went into odds of achieving stardom, which sadly account for half of the book. I would have rather had a smaller book, then read the rest in regard to his personal views on rising to fame and fortune. Sadly due to this topic change I can only give the book a 3 star rating. (
