The American Paradox: Spiritual Hunger in an Age of Plenty

"A call to action, an exhortation to hope, this book is clearly required reading for the concerned citizen." Choice "A remarkable book: combines the findings of social sciences with good sense, better yet - with keen moral judgment. Well written by an outstanding social psychologist." Amitai Etzioni, author of The Spirit of Community "A new millennium calls for a new vision of America. We have had enough blatant materialism, too much selfish sexism that makes a mockery of marriage and family. The American Paradox gives us such a new vision of America and we would do well to read it seriously. As the good book says: 'Without vision the people perish.' Theodore M. Hesburgh, President Emeritus, University of Notre Dame "The American Paradox will deepen family therapists' commitment to help families think through their relationship to the broader culture and make sound decisions about time and money, shopping and media."
