A book I read recently: Richistan: A Journey Through the American Wealth Boom and the Lives of the New Rich by Robert Frank

A fun book to read on the subway home when you just want to decompress from a long day at work. The chapters were more interesting when they were shorter WSJ articles. Reading page after page of how some of the wealthy live their lives was nauseating and boring. Makes you realize that there is no point to trying to compete because there will always be someone richer who has something newer and flashier. Reminded me that I have a good life and I'm going to just keep striving to do as well as I can without killing myself like many of the miserable rich people highlighted in the people.
