    The High Price of Materialism
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 24, 2010*

If you believe, as many do--including psychologist Tim Kasser, that materialism is one of the "religions" of the twenty-first century, you will want to read this book.He calls materialism "affluenza" and defines it as an infectious disease in which one becomes addicted to having. The vaccine for this disease, he proposes, is mindfulness.He presents findings from his research and that of others on the materialistic lifestyle. The findings are sobering. People who strongly value the pursuit of wealth and possessions:1. Report lower psychological well-being2. Report insecurity3. Seek materials as a coping strategy in an attempt to satisfy needs4. Report fragile self-esteem5. Report shorter, less positive and more negative relationships6. Tend to treat others with less generosity, less empathy, and more manipulation7. Experience less personal freedom and authenticityI recommend this book.

    Reads more like a term paper
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 22, 2006*

Before reading this book, I read "The Paradox of Choice : Why More Is Less" by Barry Schwartz.  I thought this book would take things to another level over that book.  I ended up very disappointed.This book discusses studies that Kasser has been involved in.  While some of the studies were interesting, I felt like I was reading a scientific journal rather than the unique way that Schwartz presented his material.  This book would have better been titled "Why Materialism will not make you happy".The Schwartz book is a very interesting and thought provoking read.  This book is more like a dry term paper, 3 stars was stretching it for me.
