In this groundbreaking work, trend forecaster James Wallman explores the phenomenon of Stuffocation, revealing how our abundance of possessions is failing to bring happiness and negatively impacting our planet. Despite owning more than we need—clothes, gadgets, and toys that go unused—many are feeling overwhelmed and stressed by clutter. Wallman observes a growing movement of individuals rejecting excessive consumption, from a telecom executive who sold nearly everything to a family living in a remote cabin. His solution to this clutter crisis emphasizes a shift in values: prioritizing experiences over material goods. Instead of acquiring more items like watches or shoes, he advocates for investing in shared experiences, such as vacations and quality time with loved ones. With compelling insights from psychology, economics, and culture, this book serves as a vital manifesto for change, encouraging readers to pursue happiness and health by embracing a lifestyle of less. Wallman, a journalist and trend forecaster with an impressive background, has contributed to prominent publications and advised major brands. He holds degrees in Classics and Journalism and currently resides in London with his family.

Kniha Jak nás věci zahlcují znamená pro fascinující svět předpovídání trendů to samé, co dílo Blink Malcolma Gladwella udělalo pro psychologii. Wallman s pomocí čtivy´ch bizarních příběhů a přesvědčivy´ch příkladů zvedá roušku tajemství, proč dnes žijeme tak, jak žijeme, i proč se naše posedlost věcmi možná brzy změní. Okem sociologa a uchem vypravěče nás autor bere na cestu mezi ty, kdo vědomě nahrazují materialismus tím, co správně nazy´vá experiencialismem, nachází rostoucí trend nového hodnotového systému.
