Over-Success

By Jon Greenberg on Monday, October 6, 2008.

Have Americans become too obsessed with wealth and status? Former New Hampshire state senator Jim Rubens has written a new book claiming society has lifted the definition of success to near impossible heights – achieving fame, having the body of a supermodel or joining the ranks of the super rich - and that it's resulted in the collapse of our ethical standards and made Americans increasingly unhappy and dissatisfied with their day-to-day lives. We’ll talk with Jim Rubens about how “Over-Success" came to be and what can be done to stop it.
