In his book "The Road to Little Dribbling: More Notes from a Small Island," Bill Bryson explores the quirks of British culture and the changes he observes during his travels across the UK. He humorously critiques various aspects of modern life, including consumerism and the constant demand for more, questioning the necessity of excess in daily living.

Bryson's reflections prompt readers to consider whether accumulating more of everything truly enhances life. He challenges the notion that more is always better, inviting a deeper examination of what it means to lead a fulfilling and meaningful existence in a world obsessed with abundance.
