But is it possible to have too much of a good thing?

Yes, says Dr. Archibald Hart, author of the book, Thrilled to Death. As a clinical psychologist and researcher, Dr. Hart has for years been studying the results of stress and overstimulation. He believes we are  experiencing an epidemic of overstimulation by electronic gizmos designed to make life easier, but, which have, in fact, short-circuited our ability to enjoy and appreciate the simple things in life.

In his insightful book, he includes several tests the reader can take to determine his level of anhedonia, (the reduced ability to experience pleasure), a phenomenon that is, unfortunately, growing by leaps and bounds, fueled by attempts to do it all and do it now.

Multitasking? Does the word describe who you are, not merely what you do?

This behavior is partially to blame, contributing more often than not, when sufferers find themselves unable to enjoy things that are not constantly highly stimulating in nature.

Dr. Hart suggests that parents and grandparents need to read this book, to help their children and grandchildren get off the merry-go-round of overstimulation and stress, lest the next generation be condemned to a lifetime of anhedonia.

This reviewer found incredible insight and wise counsel to remedy this frighteningly common situation in Thrilled to Death.

An incredible book to add to your library of Christian wisdom.
