| book description |

In an age of overwhelming abundance, this provocative book challenges our relationship to possessions, value, and identity. Combining insights from psychology, economics, and cultural theory, it explores how things have come to define not only our status, but our very sense of self. Why do we want what we want? What lies behind our endless consumption? With clear analysis and a global relevance, the author reveals how our material world shapes emotional well-being, social norms, and even ecological futures. This book is both a call to rethink the foundations of modern consumer culture and a guide to rediscovering personal meaning and freedom beyond possessions. Accessible and thought-provoking, it will appeal to scholars of social science and philosophy, as well as readers engaged in sustainability, design, and contemporary culture.
