Enough: Breaking Free from the World of Excess • Abstract

Начало книги

Enough offers a scathing critique of the one rule that always seems to hold in Western societies: “more is always better.” With the help of compelling biological and psychological studies, Enough shows us how our obsession with “more” is actually the source of many of our woes, as well as what we can do about it.

In the western world, we live under the paradigm of "more is always better." Although most of us have everything we could possibly need, we still believe we always need more to be happy and satisfied.
