About this ebook
The Dark Side of Consumerism & How to Save Yourself is a life manual that explores the world of consumerism, especially its serious and adverse effects on humanity. We will be dealing with the hard facts of this world and see what we can do about it. It is not a secret that most people these days follow consumerism as their way of life. This is the default setting in our world since we are in an environment that fully supports consumerism. Consumerism is deeply embedded in our society; however, we must realize that we always have a choice -- a choice whether we will continue to allow ourselves to live under the system of this world or to live freely with real purpose and meaning.
The Dark Side of Consumerism & How to Save Yourself reveals the negative impacts of consumerism on our lives, as well as how we can address these issues to live a better life. Consumerism has turned humans into money-making machines that seek happiness in material things, and so it is not a wonder why such attempts always end up in vain. In life, sometimes we need to step back every now and then to reassess how we live. This echoes the words of the great philosopher, Socrates: "The unexamined life is not worth living."
Consumerism makes people believe that to be happy, we have to keep consuming things, whether in the form of goods, services, or both. If you follow this lifestyle that most people do, it will surely have profound effects on how you live, as well as on the quality of your life. If you look around you, you will see people always consuming things endlessly. It is as if their existence depends so much on the continuous consumption of goods and services. There is a glaring problem here, and that is depending your happiness on material things, which are things that are merely created by man. Is this really the kind of life and happiness that you seek?
By learning about the dark side of consumerism, you will also get to learn more about life, as well as how you can live it deeply with more meaning and wonder. Now is the time to be free from the many false illusions of this world and make your life spectacular. Be happy because you always deserve to be happy.
