Retox is a "Bad Girls Guide" gone really, really bad. I mean really bad.
Playing against common wisdom, Retox is perfectly poised to capitalise on the backlash to the cultural obsession with detoxing, purifying, cleansing, and simplifying. Retox is a perfect gift for men, for bitter new parents, and aging party girls and boys.
So long South Beach. Farewell fat-free. Adieu tofu. Retox is here to help get back the fun and friends that fell by the wayside on your mind-numbing path to health and well-being. Broken down into informative chapters on all aspects of life - from Diet to Grooming to Relationships and Career - Retox goes where no book has gone before.
It asks the tough questions such as: When did irrigating one's bowels become a pastime of the rich and neurotic instead of the elderly and constipated?
It offers tips on better loving through chemistry. So get ready for a whole new you - a fun you. And isn't fun worth a persistent cough and mysteriously shaky hands?
Far more effective than acupuncture, and not a total crock like reiki, Retox is designed to produce real change. Stress? Gone. Anxiety? Proof. Your wallet and keys? Hmm, those seem to be missing too. Who cares! We're having a good time!
