I read this book on a friend’s recommendation and loved the way it is presented. In very relevant examples, the book establishes the way materialism has taken over us. It is a matter of time that we realize "Money can't buy happiness", and a lot of us are under the control of the media and advertising industry.

The obsession with having fancy clothes, nice cars, or bigger houses has distracted many people from being kind, friendly and respectful to each other and I have several observed this fact around in my personal and professional settings.

From Afia's list on materialism, simplicity, and sustainable living.
