Stuffocation: Why We've Had Enough of Stuff and Need Experience More Than Ever

Book • 2015
In this book, James Wallman argues that the accumulation of material goods is no longer a path to happiness and instead suggests that experiences are more valuable.

He presents insights from psychology, economics, and culture to support the idea that focusing on experiences rather than possessions can lead to a happier and healthier life.

The book critiques modern consumerism and proposes 'experientialism' as a solution to the societal problem of 'stuffocation'.
