I think there is more applicability than you give it credit for. I agree that it is unsustainable in the sense that there would be problems with the economy if no-one was willing to work at the less fulfilling jobs. But a reduction in the current insane materialism and gadgetry can only be a good thing. It all comes down to what is more important to you: owning a brand new car or spending more time with your loved ones?
