Krátky popis
'Beautifully written and brilliantly argued, Possessed is one of
the few things you really need to own' Daniel GilbertHow ownership
came to own us - and what we can do about itOur love affair with
possessions seems to be all-consuming, even as we face economic and
environmental breaking points. The global pandemic is a wake-up
call that forces us to reassess what we value most in our lives,
and yet we remain reluctant to change our ways when it comes to
accumulating things. Why?The answer is our need for ownership.A
uniquely human preoccupation rooted in our biology, psychological
ownership can be seen in everything from nations fighting over
resources to the rise of political extremism. Award-winning
psychologist Bruce Hood draws on his own and international research
to explain why ownership is an emotional state of mind that governs
our behaviour from cradle to grave, even when it is often
irrational and destructive. Does our shopping define us? What
motivates us to buy more than we need? Why do some cultures favour
shared community ownership and others individual? How does our urge
to acquire control our behaviour in times of crisis? Timely and
persuasive, Possessed is the first book to explore how ownership
has us in thrall to the relentless pursuit of a false happiness,
with damaging consequences for society and the planet - and how we
can stop buying into it.
