Saw this at Borders tonight. It's called Counterfeit Gods by Timothy Keller. He's not LDS, but flipping through it, I was reminded of President Kimball's great talk "The False Gods We Worship"--it seems like a book-length treatment on the same theme. Keller talks about the gods of wealth, fame, "success", sex, power, etc. (Reminds me of what Hugh Nibley said about the four pursuits that God forbids: fame, wealth, power, and the lusts of the flesh.)

You can read about it and see some sample pages at Amazon. (I'm going to see if the library has it--I liked what I saw.)
