 | Dematerializing
With a sharp eye and an attitude that's anything but holier-than-thou, Jane Hammerslogh encourages readers to explore how a consumption-crazed culture affects their own relationships with objects. By considering what possessions can and can't do, and by exploring where belief in the magic of the material encroaches on belief in ourselves and other people, DEMATERIALIZING offers insight into the pressures of living in a possession-obessed environment--and ways to tame materialism in our own lives. Grounded by real-world examples, research, and the author's own experience, this inspiring book is for those who appreciate having nice things but are also disturbed by the control nice things sometimes have on their lives.
