Review: American Mania: When More is Not Enough

USA: "In American Mania: When More is Not Enough, renowned psychiatrist Dr. Peter C. Whybrow skillfully and sensitively critiques the mess America has made of its consumer culture.

"What have we become? According to Whybrow's scientific and philosophical analyses, we've devolved into a nation of overindulging, overstimulated flakes addicted to easy access and instant gratification.

"Dr. Whybrow argues that our seemingly interminable quest for more -- more money, more power, more toys, more cars -- has in fact become a form of clinical mania marked by symptoms such as anxiety, depression and obesity."
