Stuffocation: Living More with Less

by James Wallman
Stuffocation: Living More with Less
Stuffocation: Living More with Less

Redefining happiness through minimalism and experiences.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your possessions or questioned the satisfaction you get from constant consumerism, "Stuffocation" can be a fresh breath of air. James Wallman takes you on a journey that's not just about decluttering your space, but about decluttering your life. The book challenges the traditional pursuit of material wealth, nudging you towards a life rich with experiences rather than things. It's thought-provoking and potentially life-changing for anyone ready to rethink their values.

Description

In this groundbreaking book, trend forecaster James Wallman reveals the world's growing sense of Stuffocation - and how we can move away from it. We have more stuff than we could ever need - clothes we don't wear, kit we don't use, and toys we don't play with. But having everything we thought we wanted isn't making us happier. It's bad for the planet. It's cluttering up our homes. It's making us feel 'stuffocated' and stressed - and it might even be killing us. Wallman's solution to our clutter crisis is less extreme, but equally fundamental. We have to transform what we value. We have to focus less on possessions and more on experiences. Rather than a new watch or another pair of shoes, we should invest in shared experiences like holidays and time with friends. With intriguing insights on psychology, economics, and culture, Stuffocation is a vital manifesto for change. It has inspired those who have read it to be happier and healthier, and to live more, with less.
