Summary
Never before have so many people felt the American Dream crashing down around them. The corporate framework--which values competition and the bottom line above all else--keeps many of us running after an elusive goal and impinges on our personal lives. Advertising-driven culture causes material desires to grow with no corresponding increase in personal time or energy to pursue them. These artificially amped-up needs cause a pressure-cooker lifestyle that threatens health and happiness.

PART I: HOW CORPORATE STRUCTURES, PRODUCTS, AND PROCESSES IMPACT OUR WORK AND PERSONAL LIVES: Introduction
A time of turbulence: when too much information keeps us from knowing the truth
The gift that keeps on taking: how the bottom-line mentality is bottoming out our lives and the planet
The hidden costs of competition: the heavy price we pay to win
This is entertainment? : TV as purveyor of a culture of disrespect and promoter of a passive populace
Media, girls, and body image: how impossible images of physical perfection are making our girls sick
The best government big money can buy: can a corporate-sponsored democracy serve the people?
What do world trade agreements have to do with me? : globalization means equalizing down to the lowest common denominator
Time: a nonrenewable resource: why are we finding time to live
PART II: FRESH CHOICES: SAYING YES! TO A MORE EXPANSIVE LIFE: Change and the comfort zone: embracing risks that have been foisted upon us by life
What's an inner life and who needs it? : trading fear for trust and planting seeds for loving-kindness
Flashpoints: how our stresses play out in the family crucible, damaging those we love most
Nurturing what is precious: finding new ways to communicate and connect withour loved ones
Meaningful work: livelihoods both personally satisfying and earth-friendly
Giving time, getting joy: life as a banquet for the servers
Together we are whole: new ways to create a support network while beating the high cost of living
Paring down our lives: how less can be made more
What is and what can be: starting from wherever you are with a passionate consciousness
Way more fun than TV: surefire ways to release your playful spirit.
