Midwest Book Review
The Golden Ghetto: The Psychology Of Affluence tells the extraordinary life of its author, clinical psychologist Jessie O'neill, as well as the stories of her clients, interviewees, and friends. The Golden Ghetto is also a wake-up call to millions of people who are struggling with "affluenza", a dysfunctional relationship with wealth and money, or the obsession with making it, from the granddaughter of Charles Erwin Wilson, former president of General Motors and Secretary of Defense under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Golden Ghetto addresses the problems and differences of the lives of those who are born into wealth with those of most Americans. The Golden Ghetto is engaging reading regardless of whether the reader was born with a silver spoon -- or a wooden one.
