But is the purchase always enough? Picking up where \"simplifying\" may not satisfy, Dematerializing acknowledges the pleasures, along with the pitfalls, of living in a material world. With a sharp reporter's eye and a wry sensibility, Jane Hammerslough encourages readers to explore how a consumption-crazed culture affects their own relationships with objects. By considering what possessions can and can't do, and by exploring where belief in the magic of the material encroaches on belief in ourselves and other people, Dematerializing offers insight into the pressures of living in a possession-obsessed environment--and ways to tame materialism in our own lives. Grounded by real-world examples, research, and the author's own experience, this inspiring book is for those who appreciate having \"nice things\" but are also disturbed by the control \"nice things\" sometimes have on their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn award-winning journalist, \u003cb\u003eJane Hammerslough\u003c\/b\u003e has written feature stories and essays for \u003ci\u003eParenting, Child, Garden Design, Saveur, Travel \u0026amp; Leisure, Country Living\u003c\/i\u003e, and other national magazines.
