On this episode, we welcome Swedish author and academic Dr. Stefan Gössling. He’s a professor at the Linnaeus University School of Business and Economics and Lund University's Department of Service Management. We discuss his book: The Psychology of the Car. Automobile admiration, attachment and addiction; published by Elsevier in 2017.

The book explores car culture through the lens of psychology, illustrating the growth of global car use over time and its effect on urban transport systems and the environment. It looks at the adoption of the car into lifestyles and how the car impacts collective and personal identities.
