Description
FREE COPY of the book with every ticket!
Are you being stuffocated? Based on his acclaimed book Stuffocation James Wallman, explains why we've had enough of stuff and need experience more than ever. Do you have cupboards full to bursting? A cluttered desk? Do you want to organise life's clutter and live more?
If so, you're suffering from 'stuffocation'. The solution, as Wallman will show, is experientialism. This does not mean giving up all our possessions, but it does mean getting over our obsession with them, and transforming 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 powerful stories of real people's lives, and with intriguing insights on psychology, economics and culture, Stuffocation is a vital manifesto for change. It has inspired those who have heard its message to be happier and healthier, and to live more with less.
