“Compared with their grandparents, today’s young adults have grown up with much more affluence, but less happiness, and much greater risk of depression and assorted social pathology… Divorce rates doubled. Teen suicide tripled. Depression rates have soared, especially among teens and young adults. I call this conjunction of material prosperity and social recession the American paradox. The more people strive for extrinsic goals such as money, the more numerous their problems and the less robust their well being."
David G. Myers, The American Paradox: Spiritual Hunger in an Age of Plenty

In Money we lust."
