Graham Hill shares a very valid point in this video that contradicts the usual thought of more stuff leads to happiness. He explains that the more stuff you have, the more stress.
Graham starts off on a box that he refers to the crap that we move around from house to house over the years. He then explains to the audience that homes in America now have 3 times as much room as they used to. Even though we have this surplus of room now, we still cannot fit all of our stuff into it. He explains how having too much stuff and not enough room causes stress and unhappiness. Graham then tells the audience the simple solution. This solution is that less stuff equals more happiness.
Personally I agree and disagree with his perspective on this topic. I do get where he is coming from when talking about how it is stressful, but some people like having a lot of stuff such as decorations. For example my family has a storage unit to fit the extra stuff that can't fit into my house. It is all mostly decorations which makes my mom happy during holidays, so in this case it is not stressful to have too much stuff. Also, today we have more technology in our houses which takes up more room, taking up room where old stuff used to be.
I recommend this video because it gives a unique look on this topic.
