Dr Louise Lambert, employee wellbeing specialist and positive psychologist explores the issue of materialism, the high valuation of material goods. Louise unpicks the way in which our focus on buying thing negatively impacts our mental health. Louise describes the consistent inverse relationship between materialism and wellbeing; such that as materialism increases, wellbeing decreases. It’s more than liking nice things, it’s measuring one’s self by them and considering them as indicators of one’s worth. How can we navigate a materialistic world and manage our mental health?
