I recently went to a talk with the author and it was incredible. She gave so many practical suggestions on how to spare our kids from the fate of obsession with material things. By following even a few of these, I can help my kids build a happy, contented adulthood. I have to admit to not having read this book, yet, but it's next on my list.
