Description
Today many Americans are harried and frustrated, despite being richer in material goods. Lee Burns explains this through what he calls the paradox of the good life. In our affluent society, technology was supposed to free us for greater leisure time and creativity. Instead, the demands of our increasingly complex lives have come up against the unyielding twenty-four-hour day. As a result, we have become busy bodies, working frantically to maintain our standard of living but not seeming to get much satisfaction.
