Summary/Abstract: A man – the consumer in the world of consumption has one task to accomplish: to consume. However, they can wake up from the lethargy of consumptionism by reflecting on his consumptionist attitudes and thus free themselves from being subject to the rules of the world of consumption. Deconsumption comes to the rescue – an attitude that compells you to think about your own actions. In order for deconsumption to be introduced to the deconsumer, it is presented as a consumerist trend, because it is in contradiction to it as a liberating attitude from the world of consumption. Deconsumption requires the consumer to think and think for themselves. By reflecting on their own needs and behaviour, the consumer can gradually free themselves from the power of objects.
