«Affluenza» is Oliver James's social psychology essay, published by Vermilion in paperback (592 pages, in English).
Oliver James analyzes the epidemic of «affluenza», the obsession with consumption and status that triggers depression and anxiety. After nine months of interviews with groups in cities such as Sydney, Singapore, Moscow, Copenhagen, New York and Shanghai, he explains its causes and proposes strengthening 'emotional immunity' to value what one already has and be successful without losing one's sanity.
The work carries the subtitle «How to be Successful and Stay Sane» and the edition dates from December 27, 2007.
For readers of essays and social psychology interested in consumption, mental health and well-being in capitalist societies.
James Oliver Curwood was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. His books were often based on adventures set in the Hudson Bay area, the Yukon or Alaska and ranked among the top-ten best sellers in the United States in the early and mid 1920s, according to Publishers Weekly. At least one hundred and eighty motion pictures have been based on or directly inspired by his novels and short stories; one was produced in three versions from 1919 to 1953. At the time of his death, Curwood was the highest paid author in the world.
