Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic | John de Graaf, David Wann, Thomas H. Naylor
post image

Still ignoring all my part read novels for non fiction on #kindle.

Christmas shopping season seems to have triggered my anti consumerist mindset lol.

This is the 3rd edition from 2014. Still has plenty of relevance but will be behind the ever increasing curve, given the horrors of Tik Tok shop, Stanley Cup frenzy etc

Borrow this from a library if you can, skim it for what applies and ignore the rest. I liked the authors‘ attitude but recognize that some things won‘t work everywhere. For example, in a lot of places in America, you just can‘t reliably get to work without a car. I‘m lucky to use the bus but it‘s not possible in so many places! I appreciated other ideas though and am glad I borrowed this.

“A life liberally strewn with satisfying mini-challenges” Haven‘t finished this yet but so far so good! I like the authors‘ attitude and approach!

Smrloomis Also this gem: “Most people love the feeling of getting something new, but forget it can come as easily from discovery as from consumption.” 2mo

I can only say nice things about this book. I really enjoyed reading it and loved reading about the authors little valley over the seasons. The one thing that really stood out is when she said you do no need to love yourself to be worthy of love. So often we are told that unless we love ourself then we can not be loved….this isn‘t correct…maybe it‘s through others love we can heal and learn to love ourselves.

LeeRHarry I love her YouTube channel and this sounds delightful 😊 4mo
Darklunarose @LeeRHarry until I posted about this book last week I never knew she had one. I‘m going to need to find some time to check it out. I do love the cottagecore aesthetic 4mo

I was so hoping I would enjoy this, but we are a neurodivergent family and I couldn‘t even get past the forward. Which is ok. This book will be beneficial for others, but I find it hard to continue a book once rubbed the wrong way.

Bookwomble So disappointing when an author is insensitive/ignorant 😕 5mo
Darklunarose @Bookwomble most likely just completely unaware of how essential tech is (yes even at the dinner table) of ND families. I get enough judgement looks when we eat out, I‘m not gonna read them too. Even I use my phone to stim and focus when out and about. And my iPad when focusing on a movie. 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly I know what you mean about it being hard to continue a book when it‘s rubbed you the wrong way. 😕 5mo
