Hyperwealthism: Financial Obesity

“One who earns more than one’s needs is a thief”
— Srimad Bhagavatham 7.14.8

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Gonuguntla Srinivasa Rao diagnoses hyperwealthism—a pervasive social disease of excessive wealth accumulation that endangers individuals, society, and our planet. With clinical precision, he likens financial excess to physical obesity, exposing its hidden toll: rising stress, environmental devastation, and fractured families.

Blending modern science with timeless Vedic wisdom, Dr. Srinivasa Rao dismantles the myth that more wealth equates to more happiness, advocating for gratitude over greed, minimalism over overindulgence, and sacrifice over relentless competition for a truly rich, joyful life.

From billionaires to daily wagers, this book reveals how materialism erodes lives and offers practical solutions—financial dieting and 90/10 living—to restore peace. Compact yet profound, Hyperwealthism: Financial Obesity is a clarion call to redefine success, forging a more meaningful, fulfilling life in an age of excess.

A prescription for a healthier, happier world!

"You need to be intelligent to get rich but you need to be even more intelligent not to get rich. The latter demands a deeper understanding of Nature and Life."
