Stuff. Most people have far too much of it. But what draws us to having things we don't need?
Professor Melissa Norberg is the deputy director for the Centre for Emotional Health and associate professor at Macquarie University. She researches, develops and provides treatment for compulsive buying-shopping disorder. And she has the answer to the question of why our possessions have so much control over us, and how we can regain control of our lust for material things.
Professor Norberg is with us to look at how material possessions can be so alluring - whether it's buying new stuff or holding onto old stuff for too long - and how breaking those bad old habits can not only be good for us personally, but the planet as well.
