És l'edició catalana editada per Descontrol Intriguing review of the author's research into the ironic way in which pursuit of materialist goals, which promise one a happier, more successful life, actually result in a more stressful and unfulfilled existence. After empirically documenting this relationship--which should be known by anyone with their eyes open--he goes on to suggest reasons for this outcome: 1) Pursuit of materialism crowds out time and opportunity to spend on more rewarding goals, such as building human relationships; 2) Because materialism builds upon rewards and praise as its motivation, it works against building autonomy and authenticity, which finds its drive in the intrinsic interest and enjoyment of doing things; and 3)Materialism leads the person to have lower self-esteem and sense of self-worth, a gap that consumerist culture pounds into their heads can be filled by buying the next new thing. This is an unendingly recursive process.
