      About the Book

      A top consumer behavior expert takes us on a tour of the American obsession with consumerism, diagnoses a problem, and offers solutions. "Shiny Objects" is replete with engaging anecdotes, charts, graphs, and self-quizzes for the media and will help the reader assess the good, bad, and the ugly about their own spending habits and how to make a change for the better. 368 pp.
