Affluenza by John De Graaf

The All-Consuming Epidemic

This insightful book delves into the pervasive social condition characterized by the relentless pursuit of material wealth and consumerism, which the authors term "affluenza." Through a blend of compelling anecdotes, research, and analysis, it explores how this obsession with acquiring more has led to a range of societal issues, including environmental degradation, personal dissatisfaction, and social inequality. The narrative urges readers to reconsider their values and lifestyles, advocating for a shift towards more sustainable and fulfilling ways of living that prioritize well-being over material excess.
