The article is an attempt to use the personalist thought of Adam Rodziński on the problems posed by the contemporary model of consumerism. In the first part, the author presents the risks resulting from incredibly rapid technological progress and changes in the mentality of modern people. Then, these situations are contrasted with the dictates of personalistic ethics in order to find ways out of the crisis, which brought the so‑called “overactive consumption”. The article attempts to show that the personalist cure for excessive consumption, it is not renunciation of it, but sensible and moderate approach to consumption.
