BEAUTY - am i right ladies
This is a super informative yet heartbreaking book. The endless pursuit of beauty, the tyranny of beauty - how the ffffck did we get here? A great dive into the historical, sociological, philosophical relevance of beauty, both collectively and individually.
Im a victim and perpetrator of this futile, unattainable pursuit of beauty (as you probably are too, reader), and reading this was sad, and frustrating, and super insightful, and did i mention sad?
Why cant we all bake a cake full of rainbows and smiles and be happy :'(

Jag kände inte att boken hade något ärende. Jag menar inte budskap, just nu känns den mer som ett reportage och stundtals mer som små referat av olika tänkares tankar om skönhet. Det är inget fel med det, men jag tyckte inte att det var speciellt roligt eller djupgående. Då blir inte betyget så högt. Hur man uppfattar denna bok beror kanske också på hur nära ämnet berör en eller hur mycket man själv reflekterat över det. Har man tänkt mycket kring ämnet själv blir det inte så spännande läsning.

Some of the ideas in this book were interesting, but there was a bit too much psychoanalysis for my tastes and it could/should have gone into more depth at several points rather than rely on quoting a philosopher/psychologist/sociologist and then quickly moving on to the next point.
Still, I’d say this is a good entry point for thinking about issues like the societal importance of beauty and how social media and the ubiquity of images (of ourselves and others) influence people.
