Affluenza anyone?

“Affluenza is a painful, contagious, socially-transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more”.  Too many of us are working ourselves to death to accumulate an endless array of goods and services we don’t really need.

Reasonable, affordable consumption means less struggle, less debt, less hassles, less stress.  It also grants us more time – and with it the opportunity for new experiences, better relationships, and greater personal freedom.

From the book The Secret of Shelter Island by Alexander Green which is definitely the best book I have read in a very long time.
