Description
In a world obsessed with accumulation and endless growth, this thought-provoking exploration examines why our ancient brains drive us to constantly pursue "more"—even when abundance fails to deliver happiness. John Naish investigates the psychological and evolutionary roots of our insatiable desires, revealing how modern consumer culture exploits our Neolithic wiring to keep us perpetually dissatisfied. Through compelling analysis and practical insights, the book challenges the assumption that more possessions, more success, and more experiences will improve our lives. By understanding the mechanisms that trap us in cycles of excess, readers discover how to break free from the tyranny of wanting and find genuine contentment. A timely and essential guide for anyone questioning whether the relentless pursuit of more is truly worth the cost.
