Product Description

Affluenza is a fascinating look at one of the greatest social maladies of our time: overconsumption and materialism. Hosted my National Public Radio's Scott Simon, Affluenza explores both the comical and sobering aspects of our consumerism and its enormous impact on our families, communities and the environment. In response to this materialistic lifestyle, many people are opting out of the consumer culture. Some are turning to one of the fastest growing trends in our country, voluntary simplicity, which is just one of the many "cures" that are explored in Affluenza.

fantastic teaching tool
as a teacher, i share this with my kids to combat the current trend of purchasing happiness. it illustrates on varying levels the negative effects of overconsumption as individuals and as a society and provides examples of people who choose to live outside that paradigm.
