The Battersea Park Road to Paradise, By Isabel Losada
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Having given us Battersea Park Road's answer to happiness and men, Losada now jumps though some New Age hoops for her readers, who she chattily refers to as "you".
The first two are the least painful: having her home feng shui-ed and attending a seminar by life-coach, Anthony Robbins, who makes such statements as "know why it's MUST".
The journey inward becomes ever more masochistic: a ten-day silent retreat that brings on (what must have felt like blessed) bouts of near narcolepsy and kidney ache, and a romp through the Amazon (aided by the psychoactive brew, ayahuasca).
She learns lessons along the way, and has the odd laugh, but for us it's like sitting in on someone else's spiritual growth spurt.
