If I’m So Successful, Why Am I Taking Prozac?: Negotiating the Lifestyle You’ve Always Wanted


Ed Brodow argues that millions of Americans who have acquired the symbols of success do not feel successful. Instead of pursuing our true desires, we have been conditioned to seek the superficial, ego-based ideals of fame and fortune. As a result, the most affluent society in human history is faced with an epidemic of depression, drug abuse, alcoholism, violence, and suicide.Brodow reveals how society’s narrow definition of success has trapped millions of unsuspecting people in lifestyles that do not satisfy their real needs. Having acquired the symbols of success many people feel burned out and disillusioned. Brodow helps readers refocus their energies to lead the kind of life that satisfies their true needs. Beating the Success Trap offers concrete, prescriptive advice for negotiating for the job you want and the life you desire.
