Críticas:
'Stuffocation is like The Tipping Point meets Freakonomics - with a huge idea at its heart. Fascinating, inspiring, and great fun to read.' --Laura Atkinson, The Sunday Times
'In Stuffocation, James Wallman offers a deeply important message by weaving contemporary social science into very engaging stories. Reading the book is such a pleasure that you hardly realize you re being told that you should change how you live your life.' --Barry Schwartz, author, The Paradox of Choice
'With a sociologist s eye and a storyteller s ear, James Wallman takes us on a tour of today's Experience Economy from the perspective not of businesses, nor even consumers per se, but of everyday people. In so doing he identifies the rise of a new value system among those who are consciously replacing materialism with what he rightly calls experientialism. Spot on.' --B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore, co-authors, The Experience Economy
Reseña del editor:
In this brilliant and original book, James Wallman explains and analyses why Stuffocation is the most pressing problem of our time – and then goes in search of its solution. On the way, he goes down the halls of the Elysée Palace with Nicolas Sarkozy, up in a helicopter above Barbra Streisand's home on the California coast, and into the world of the original Mad Men.
Through fascinating characters and brilliantly told stories, Wallman introduces the innovators whose lifestyles provide clues to how we will all be living tomorrow, and he makes some of the world's most counterintuitive, radical, and world-changing ideas feel inspiring – and possible for us all.
