More about the book

The book explores the paradox of increasing wealth in industrialized nations alongside a rise in mental health issues, alcoholism, and crime over the past 50 years. It delves into the disconnect between material prosperity and genuine happiness, questioning the societal values that prioritize wealth accumulation while neglecting emotional well-being and community health. Through this examination, the author challenges readers to reconsider the true sources of fulfillment and the implications of modern living.
