Description
Dr Oliver James's groundbreaking exploration of "affluenza" reveals how an obsessive desire for wealth and status is spreading globally.
Through his nine-month journey, Dr James visited cities across the world, including Sydney, Singapore, Moscow, Copenhagen, New York, and Shanghai, to understand the root causes of this phenomenon. He spoke with people from diverse backgrounds, seeking answers to a simple yet profound question: why do so many individuals feel an insatiable need for something they already possess?
His findings offer a powerful insight into how we can reconnect with what truly matters and cultivate emotional resilience in the face of increasing pressure to conform. A thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, "Affluenza" invites readers to reflect on their own values and priorities.
