Stuffocation: why we've had enough of stuff and need experience more than ever

We've had enough of stuff

The problem : stuffocation. The anthropologist and the clutter crisis ; The dark side of materialism

How we got here : the origins of throwaway culture. The original Mad Men and the job of creating desire ; Barbra Streisand and the law of unintended consequences

The crossroads : signposts to a better future. I love to count : the 33, 47, 69, and 100 things of minimalism ; The simple life and the cage-free family ; The medium chill

The road ahead : the rise of the experientialists. To do or to have? That is no longer a question ; The experientialists ; Facebook changed how we keep up with the Joneses ; We love to count too : the new way to measure progress ; What about the Chinese? ; The gypsy, the wasp, and the experience economy ; Can you be an experientialist and still love stuff?

Why you need experience more than ever.
