Black Friday — Why We Really Buy
Description
On this Black Friday edition of Holiday Specials We Love,
we talk about how most people don’t buy because they want the item — they buy because they want the feeling they think the item will give them. And how that feeling is almost always tied to some form of scarcity. We look at how consumption becomes an attempt to patch an internal leak with an external object, and how that leak usually carries the same message: you're not enough.
We ask the real questions behind the impulse. We get into how joy can free us from overconsumption, what “California sober” actually means, and why saying “never” with any addiction may not always be the most effective strategy. And what’s with people who don’t like dogs or Christmas trees?
