The age of consumerism has reached a point that books such as 'You Have Too Much Shit' are needed. Lauded as a self-help read, it was authored by designer and writer Chris Thomas in an effort to help people get rid of the stuff that has accumulated in their lives over the years of living in a modern society.
A great gift for a friend in need of a wake up call, Thomas states, "Most self-help books like this would gently attempt to enlighten you towards a less materialistic existence; promising not to judge you and show you a cleaner, less cluttered way of life. Well, fuck that. I’m going to judge you. Your life is full of shit that you don’t need or use. Let’s go."
