What about our soul?
Most of our conversation, it seems, revolves around our bodies and money: how we look, how to stay healthy, how to remain young, how to become wealthy. We spent 2020 hunkered down, masked up and isolated just to stay alive.
Concern for our bodies drives a large segment of our economy. United States health care expense passed $3.81 trillion in 2019. Most of this, of course, was corrective surgery and treatment, but elective cosmetic surgery totals more than $13 billion. This includes liposuction, breast augmentation and hair removal. The fitness industry with its books, talk shows and exercise facilities is enormous. In 2014, fitness center revenues in the U.S. exceeded $24 billion.
