( Is over-consumption an illness? This book says it should be thought of as one. )
This book has definitely made me conscious of my choices and how I spend my time. I realize now that though I may not make a ton teaching community college part time in two different places, it gives me the time to develop relationships, read, write, and do the things that are really important to me that I wouldn't have if I was working a high-powered, high-paying job that calls for seventy hour work weeks. I'd be richer on the surface, but poorer in all the ways I care about.
