So, I just looked up 'Tibetan singing bowl alarm clocks', 'alternate nostril breathing', 'gratitude journaling', 'bulletproof coffee' and 'intermittent fasting'; and they are all apparently real things...
I don't get it seriously, this lady has too much money, only helps herself and others who fund her addiction to premium and unnecessary products. She has a highly inneficient life basically focused on fads and things sold to people as scams. She and her husband don't communicate enough. She has a psychological condition that allows her to feel empowered and with this inneficiency. She convinces others with unusual amounts of money in a cult like fashion to buy her product. She continues to profit, and she brags about this pyramid scheme that she isn't even at the top of.
this kind of satire is actually very common (they're just making fun of a entire subculture by condensing as much of it as possible into a single extremely over-the-top person), but mcsweeney's always takes it to the next level.

This is great. I've got some relatives that love this garbage and there's things in here I hadn't heard about. I can picture the author being totally surrounded by this shit :)

Edit: hard to single out the best among many!

Very funny article. In a modern world focused on the self, this is what you eventually get. Our lives are too comfortable.

> which keeps me in ketosis until I break my intermittent fast
Also ruined the suspension of disbelief. I don't think you can enter and exit ketosis daily, in under 24hrs.
