Rich, Free, and Miserable

The Failure of Success in America

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Compared to much of the rest of the world, America and its citizens are rich. But many people are also deeply miserable-at work, at home, or both. This provocative book unpacks why so many people are struggling, both emotionally and financially, in a nation that looks so prosperous on the surface. Author John Brueggemann not only outlines these pressing social problems, but also offers practical suggestions for people looking to make a positive change.
