Affluenza - Oliver James

Affluenza — Oliver James

Affluenza explores the global epidemic of materialism, envy, and the relentless pursuit of “more” that is driving rising levels of anxiety and depression. Oliver James travels the world to uncover why so many people are caught in the cycle of wanting what they don’t have—and how to break free.

From Sydney to Shanghai, James investigates why wealth and freedom have not brought happiness. Through interviews and research, he reveals how cultural pressures, social comparison, and personal ambition create emotional strain. More importantly, he shows how to strengthen your emotional “immune system,” reconnect with what truly matters, and find contentment in your own life. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
