Tired of toxic celebrity culture distorting your habits, mental health, and self-esteem? Have you fallen prey to the manipulation of a narcissist or sociopath? Or perhaps you're a creative whose work was exploited by someone more influential. It's time to expose the gaslighting tactics used by modern day manipulators - including celebrities and corporations - strategies meticulously crafted to capture your attention and line their pockets, all while they knock off creators, sell illusions, and embody hypocrisy.
In this compelling and transformative memoir, Alanna Zabel bravely reveals some of the posers, abusers, and knock-offs she has personally experienced while navigating a spiritual life in a superficial world - one where the wealthy and powerful often turn a blind eye to injustice to ensure their own personal interests.
Alongside her personal journey, interwoven with unique stories of synchronicity and spirituality, Alanna highlights the evolution of morality, the growing influence of corporate greed, and the healing power of our interconnected world. Through her life as a celebrity yoga instructor, entrepreneur, and spiritual realist, Alanna shares empowering lessons to help you navigate through the smoke and mirrors of our media-saturated and excessively filtered world, while confronting manipulation and betrayal in the elite's shark-infested pool - where the waters are far more dangerous than they appear on the surface.

Alanna's resilience, humor, and insightful spirituality shine through each shocking share, closing each chapter with helpful prompts and thoughtful considerations for you to live free from modern deceptions.
