Tactic the authors use is to personally insult the people whose lifestyles they disagree with. They are also in love with the cutsie names that they invent, like "affluenza" and "dot-communism", they use them over and over. Maybe a good solution may be to skip directly to the "Treatment" section.

This book is phenomenal. It is a true eye opener into the far reachig costs of what we buy, how much we own and even what we eat. It must be read, it will change your habits.
