Does shopping make you feel better?
Is retail therapy an attempt to replace something missing from our lives?
I know my shopping habits get grossly out of control when I’m dissatisfied with things at home or work. It makes me sick to think back to the countless hours and dollars I’ve spent on purchases that ended up in my closet with the tags attached only to be sent the Salvation Army a few years later. Does anyone else have a compulsive need to shop when they are feeling down, or am I on my own here?
There’s a wonderful bulletin on the David Report about the sociological and psychological implications of consumption.
Yes, I know it’s a large article…But I promise it will be more rewarding then checking WWTDD.com for the 5th time today.
