Publisher's Note
A doctor's bold analysis of the cultural disease that afflicts us all.
In this startling analysis of our prosperous American society, renowned psychiatrist Peter Whybrow reveals why as a nation of acquisitive migrants our insatiable quest for more now threatens our health and happiness.
Whybrow describes an affluence in America that far outstrips our need and a rampant greed spawning the addictions of consumer culture—food, money, and technology. Citing the alarming statistics of obesity, depression, and panic disorders, Whybrow alerts us to a behavior that is now testing the limits of our ancestral biology—in mind and body—and threatens to erode the very foundations of our community. Drawing upon detailed case studies, Whybrow offers compassionate guidance and a novel vantage point from which to understand some of the most pressing social and medical issues of our time. This provocative volume, grounded in science and philosophy, calls for collective action in refocusing our pursuit of happiness and enhancing America's prosperity.

Industry reviews
"Putting the entire country on the couch, psychiatrist Whybrow suggests that our depression and dysfunction, not to mention the erosion of our quantity of life, are largely the result of runaway greed....For serious workaholics and their victims, worth considering."
Kirkus  (10/15/2004)
