Books, baseball cards, ceramic figurines, art, iPhones, clothing, cars, music, dolls, furniture, and even nature itself. If you're like most people, at some point in your life you've found yourself indulging in a love affair with some thing that brings you immense joy, comfort, or fulfillment. Why is it that we so often feel intense passion for objects? What does this tendency tell us about ourselves and our society? In The Things We Love, Dr. Aaron Ahuvia presents astonishing discoveries that prove we are far less "rational" than we think when it comes to our possessions and hobbies. In fact, we have passionate relationships with the things we love, and these relationships are driven by influences deep within our culture and our biology. Some of our passions are sudden, obsessive, and fleeting; others are devoted and lifelong affairs. Some turn dark: we become hoarders, or would prefer to destroy certain objects rather than let anyone else own them. And as technology improves, becoming increasingly addictive, one wonders: might our lives become so dominated by our emotional ties to things that we lose interest in other people? Packed with fascinating case studies, scientific analysis, and takeaways for living in a modern and ever-so-material world, The Things We Love offers a truly original and insightful look into our love for inanimate objects--and how better understanding these relationships can enrich and improve our lives.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.487 Ah Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.487 Ahuvia Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.487 Ah Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.487 Ah Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.487 Ah Checked In Add Copy to MyList
