Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic by John De Graaf

3.0

This book is in three parts. The first part is the longest, and it talks about how much we consume and some of the problems it causes. Some of it was interesting, even eye-opening, but it went on way too long. The last two parts, which covered the history of consumption, changing lifestyles, why the workweek is the way it is (part two), and what people are doing to change themselves or the culture (part 3) were more interesting (and more compact). Would probably have rated it 2 and a half stars if I could have.
