The Complacent Class

This came across as a boomer complaining with data about why things aren't as cool as they were when he was a kid. Towards the end of the book, he gets to the main point “Once people are successful and comfortable, they are less driven to achieve”

I have seen this replay throughout history and the idea that you need to push yourself to stay hungry isn't a particularly new insight. Unless you want a ton of factual analysis about why it's a good idea as a nation to stay hungry, you don't need to read this book.
