This completely flips on its head the typical narrative we tell ourselves in the US about our massive levels of production and consumption, which are normally heralded as symbols of success and progress, signs that we are exceptional, blessed, doing things right. They are instead revealed as signs that something is very wrong, as indicators of tremendous sadness, disconnect, fear, lack of meaning. (Jeff Golden, Reclaiming the Sacred)

@mjkaul it’s a very good book. Gets a little new age spiritual at the end, but a really interesting analysis of the insanity of our economic system.

@mbkriegh Need to check it too! Thanks for the recommendation
