The fast : the history, science, philosophy, and promise of doing without
Oakes, John G. H.2024
Books
We fast all the time, even when we're not conscious of doing so. A fast manifests the idea of holding back, resisting the animal impulse to charge ahead. Its flip side is similarly everywhere: call it splurging, self-indulgence, or a variant of 'self-care'. Based on extensive historical, scientific, and cultural research and reporting, 'The Fast' illuminates the numerous facets of this act of self-deprivation.
