The Myth of the American Dream: Reflections on Affluence, Autonomy, Safety, and Power by D.L. Mayfield
5.0
This is such a timely and helpful book! Since reading, the ideas of Power, Affluence, Autonomy, and Safety haven't left me; I keep seeing iterations of them everywhere. Some of the stories in the book too are so beautiful that they have continued to stick with me. I am encouraged and excited to love others creatively in the kinds of ways displayed in this book.
A lot of books like this often leave me feeling overwhelmed or depressed without hope or next steps. This is not a hopeless book! It really helped me to be confronted with the problems in myself and the world and still come away feeling encouraged about moving forward. It is also just a really enjoyable read and the writing is engaging and beautiful. The structure of the book makes it easy to read and remember the ideas. I highly recommend picking up a copy of this book!
