Summary
What's the next thing you want to buy?
We all have heard of the phrase "money can't buy happiness", but what we don't realize is a lot of us are under the control of the media and advertising industry, and have been fed the idea that having more materialistic possessions can help you experience a much happier and more fulfilling life. This obsession with having fancy clothes, nice cars, or bigger houses has distracted many people from being kind, friendly, and respectful to each other. The materialistic mindset has also caused a large number of people to get into serious debt, which leads to financial stress that jeopardizes a person's health and well-being.
In this book, Grace Scott will introduces us to the consequences of materialism, and how materialism can have a terrifying impact on us. She will also show us exact steps we need to take in order to be free from this materialistic society.
Here is what I'll be sharing with you:
- The materialistic mentality
- Material possessions vs. happiness
- Fun and non-material forms of entertainment
- The remedy of materialism

short but to the point
Because Amazon requires at least 15 words, here is what I need to say. It is a short book that does not go deeper into the topic, but it's a good starting point.

I am re-listening to it from time to time.
It’s nice to see that other readers have positive view of this audio book. I am in favor of this. It’s short and I finished it in one sitting, but I always find myself re-listening to it until I master the art.

I hope this will work!
Learning how not to let material things take control over your life can be difficult. It’s a good thing I have this to help me get through it. As a part of my improvement, I plan to join a simple lifestyle challenge.

I am slowly learnin to love nature and its beauty!
If you start to practice mindful meditation, it doesn’t mean that you need to give up having nice things. It will just help you view the world in a better way.

An engrossing read.
The book talks about regular mindful meditation that can help you become more mindful of the world around you. Materialism all stems from having poor intent!

thinking wisely
People start thinking more about buying the nice things instead of being appreciative of the beauty in their world, or having dinner on the table and family and friends that love them. What an unbalanced life this could become!

It's a one-of-a-kind book.
When we start to develop materialistic tendencies, it can be easy to forget about the people, relationships and self-care that is so important. Love yourself and others too!

I am becoming well-versed at it.
One of the greatest threats to our walk with God is the trap of materialism. We have to work at not being lured away from Him and spending our daily time with Him. I find this book very practical!
