Timothy Fishleigh | Ep. 1 Greed and Envy Trailer @TimothySpeaks | Uploaded May 2011 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Airdate: 4 MAY, 2011. Theologians say that greed is like drinking saltwater: you think you're going to be satisfied but you always thirst for more. Stephanie, a former runner-up on The Apprentice, describes herself as ambitious and greedy. She enjoys the chase, the power and the "freedom" greed brings. She has been on the other side, and does not want to change her sinful ways. But as she desperately seeks to have relationships with other people, does greed prevent her from reaching out? Science holds the key. On the flip side of greed, is envy. Research suggests that envy is in fact a dangerous emotion as it is inherently social: people are not envious of the Lamborghini; they envy the person who owns the Lamborghini. Rachel has been envious her entire life -- so much so that she now battles a shopping addiction. For more than four decades Rachel has struggled with overspending fuelled by western culture and advertising that conspires to have us envy the rich and emulate the lifestyles of "the rich and famous." But why has she acted this way? Could it be she has the "credit card" gene in her DNA? Jason Applebaum: Jason is a young man recovering from an addiction to gambling. Although Jason continues to work in a casino, he currently strives to live a life free of debt, constantly trying to keep the temptations at bay. Rachel Atlas: An artist and teacher, vivacious Rachel is just beginning to understand and accept the fact that she has tried to measure up to others for most of her life. The idea of "keeping up with the Jones" and constantly questioning her true worth, has lead Rachel to realize how self destructive her behaviour has become over the years.
