Spanish translation: rebasando incluso el límite de su propia satisfacción

English term or phrase: it adds to their satisfaction
¿Más allá de su propia satisfacción personal? Gracias!!!

As the evidence on global consumerism makes abundantly clear, mainstream consumer values show little sign of slowing down the pace of material and environmental profligacy. Existing attempts to live better by consuming less remain marginal at best. So the question remains, Why do people continue to consume, knowing the social and environmental consequences, even beyond the point at which it adds to their satisfaction?
