| Opplysninger | Do we really own anything? -- Non-humans possess, but only humans can own -- Origins of ownership -- It's only fair -- Possessions, wealth & happiness -- We are what we own --Letting go -- Epilogue.. - Possessed is the first accessible book to consider the psychological origins and future of ownership in a rapidly changing world. It reveals how we are compelled to accumulate possessions in a relentless drive to seek status and approval by signaling our values to others by what we own. It traces the history of ownership but looks to the future as our drive to own will need to adapt to environmental and technological change.
