Affluenza: When Too Much is Never Enough is a book written by Professor Clive Hamilton and Richard Denniss, and was published in 2005. According to the book, Western society is addicted to overconsumption and this situation is unique in human history. Hamilton and Denniss argue that people "aspire to the lifestyles of the rich and famous at the cost of family, friends and personal fulfilment", and that rates of stress, depression and obesity are high as people try to cope with the emptiness and disappointments of consumer life.
Affluenza says that an increasing number of Australians are ignoring advertisers, reducing their spending, and reprioritizing their time.[1][2][3]
