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.

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