According to the book The Narcissism Epidemic, people who pursue wealth are more apt to “suffer from poor mental health; they also report more physical health problems such as sore throats, backaches, and headaches and were more likely to drink too much alcohol and use illegal drugs.
Raamatus „The Narcissism Epidemic ” öeldakse inimeste kohta, kes rikkust taga ajavad:„ Neil on kehvem psüühiline tervis. Neil on ka rohkem füüsilisi tervisehäireid, näiteks selja -, pea - ja kurguvalu. Samuti võivad nad suurema tõenäosusega hakata alkoholi kuritarvitama või uimasteid pruukima.
