Wow, I need to add this book to my collection...Not because I didn't know, but because I agree completely.
The Basics -- Are you addicted to money? - MSN Money (from the article): We need to overcome what Slater wrote about in 1980 -- our addiction to "moneythink." We need to rediscover that life is about choices and experiences we create, not things we buy. In the book, Slater tells us that wealth addiction can take many forms -- money addiction, possession addiction, power addiction, fame addiction, spending addiction.
"An addiction," he writes, "is a need that is not only (1) intense and (2) chronic, but also (3) feels as if it were essential to our sense of wholeness. Addictions have to do with our feeling about ourselves: If you think you would feel incomplete, less of a person, or unable to function well without something -- even for a little while -- then you are addicted to that something."
