So many gems in this book.

My favorite: “in my professional and quasi-professional contacts, whose only real trouble is inertia, who work at the most disgraceful jobs in order to pay, for the luxury of someone else’s attention”

Why do we constantly live for other people? Trying to impress people we don’t even know. In modern times with social media…we care more about likes, followers, views, than actually living and enjoying moments. Comparing ourselves to strangers we will never meet. We need less bombast, but these attitudes have pervaded our culture in a country that is obsessed with money, status, etc.

Since this essay is less than 100 pages, I feel like I can’t give a full review on it without practically telling you the entire book. I also think this is one to go into without any type of opinion toward it in your mind. It’s one of those books that has a bigger impact when you read it for yourself.
