The capitalism we have in America isn't good for any of us. None of us is wired for this level of frenetic, stressed activity, and we're focusing on the wrong things. If we're focusing on acquiring stuff or making as much money as possible, we're missing what's most critical to health and wellbeing, which is being able to be in the moment.

Writer, speaker, and ecofeminist Jennifer Lunden joins This is Hell! to discuss her new book, American Breakdown, Our Ailing Nation, My Body's Revolt, and the Nineteenth-Century Woman Who Brought Me Back to Life, out now from Harper Collins.
