Description

Explore how material possessions shape identity and domestic life in this landmark study by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Eugene Rochberg-Halton. Based on interviews with eighty Chicago families, this Cambridge University Press book examines the psychological significance of everyday household objects and the ways people construct meaning through their material environment. The authors challenge conventional views on materialism whilst offering fresh insights into American culture, personal identity, and the complex relationship between individuals and the things that surround them. Drawing on social science research and philosophical inquiry, the work reveals how domestic symbols reflect and influence our sense of self, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of psychology, consumer culture, and family life.
