Unfortunately I do not care about philosophy enough to finish this 😪

While I don’t necessarily mind the acerbic tone, I expected more joy for the subtitle. Also, I found myself more interested in the sources Rothfeld mentioned than in the work itself, and it was a bit irritating that, in a book about excess, she provides no notes or bibliography section.

A solid collection of essays. Some I was enthralled and some not so much and kind of dragged on. All and all a worth reading collection.

I wasn’t too sure about this in the beginning, but ended up really enjoying each essay and critique. I only wish I had had someone to debrief with after each chapter.

Really loved the essay against minimalism. Also loved the fact that I didn’t know one in three words.
