Title: disappointed
Product review: Although this book makes many good points, the basic premise being that Americans have too much stuff and too little time, it is fatally flawed by the religious content. The authors repeatedly make references to religious figures such as Mother Theresa and Ted Haggard. Although Mother Theresa is something of a sacred cow, anyone who has done some research into her financial practices will find her less than admirable. (Missionary Position is one good book to read, if interested in learning more) She may not have accumulated "stuff", but she didn't mind accumulating money--nor did she mind if it was from stolen pensions. And Ted Haggard? All of these mega churches suck money out of people unable to think critically, pay no taxes, and the snake oil preacher men like Haggard live extravagant lifestyles. I quit reading about a quarter of the way through. The credibility crumbled.
