Synopsis | The constant message we hear is that if we need something, we should have it! But in reality this allows us to indulge our desires by hiding behind a language that is far more common than we would ever guess—the language of “need.” What we have failed to do is ask if we should gratify ourselves in these ways. Tony Walter unmasks this prevalent secular morality with clarity and insight. He calls us to look at the reasons we give for what we do and helps us say no to the seductive power of “need” language. In its place he offers us a life led in response to love and not as a search for gratification.
