Affluenza

The paperback edition of the "Sunday Times" bestseller. It examines the epidemic of 'affluenza', an obsessive keeping up with the Joneses, which has resulted in huge increases in depression and anxiety among millions. Travelling round the world to investigate this phenomenon, James asks why so many people want what they haven't got and to be someone they're not, despite being richer and freer than ever before? From the author of "They F**k You Up", which sold over 70,000 copies. There will be a huge marketing campaign, in all major newspapers. 'Should be mandatory reading for everyone' Will Self
