“Finally! A book about consumerism that goes to the very heart of the matter--that it corrodes our precious human capacities to know truth, see beauty, and feel love. These seventeen highly intelligent, compassionate, and lucid Buddhist teachers . . . show how Buddhist thought can help clear our minds and settle us down... I highly recommend these essays to everyone.” —Vicki Robin, coauthor of Your Money or Your Life
“Stephanie Kaza is gently and winningly shrewd; Buddhism is the faith practice that has looked most clearly at desire and what it means. This volume, therefore, is extremely readable and extremely useful to those of us from other faith traditions trying to come to grips with the modern plague of consumption.” —Bill McKibben, author of Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age
“This is an inspiring collection of essays, really delving into how consumption works in our daily lives... As a Buddhist myself, I found Hooked! to be really inspiring for my practice - not just how I engage as a consumer. But you don't have to be a Buddhist to find these essays helpful for understanding how we can be happier day to day... It's a very positive approach, offering encouraging examples of how we can take control of how we use our resources.” —Gwen’s Reviews, GoodReads
