Abertausend

Things in this world—we use and own them, we choose them, we enjoy them, we buy them, collect them, and pass them on. Things, items, and objects are always around us. We possess more and more of them, but at the same time, the appreciation of things is decreasing. This book embarks on a journey of discovery and explores the space between things and humans. How can we appreciate things more, and what does this have to do with a conscious way of living? This book aims to rekindle the magic of everyday things and explore the hidden depths within the objects that surround us.
