Overview: An engaging exploration of the unique history and biology of fasting—an essential component of many traditional health practices, religions, and philosophies, resurging in popularity today. 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. John Oakes interviews doctors, spiritual leaders, activists, and others who guide him through this practice—and embarks on fasts of his own—to deliver a book that supplies listeners curious about fasting with profound new understanding, appreciation, and inspiration.
