Affluenza is an overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction amidst bountiful provision. While we desire to "count our blessings," we dread the upkeep of our possessions. Being thankful becomes difficult because we have too much. Let's be honest, all of this accumulation just doesn't bring affirmation.There is a book I recommend which helps address Affluenza. It's called Lose 200 Pounds This Weekend by Don Aslett. While taking a huge pile to the local Goodwill may not nip the bud of American consumerism, it may be a great start to the new year. Why not? We have so much to gain by losing some of the stuff. Read the book. It's fun and motivating. When you finish, pass the book on to someone else who wants it.
