    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 theSeventies is remembered chiefly for music, fashion, art, feminism, computing,black power, cultural revolt and the New Left. But an until-now unexplored, yet noless important aspect - both in its core identity and in terms of its ongoingsignificance and impact - is its relationship with health.In this popular and illuminating culturalhistory of the relationship between health and the counterculture, MatthewIngram connects the dots between the beats, yoga, meditation, psychedelics,psychoanalysis, Eastern philosophy, sex, and veganism, showing how the hippiesstill have a lot to teach us about our wellbeing.
