Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed: Sixteen Writers on The Decision Not To Have Kids by Meghan Daum

3.0

2.5 stars. I was disappointed with the lack of breadth in these essays. Many authors (most?) had suffered some childhood trauma, and many had extenuating circumstances that made their decision not to have children simpler. I was hoping for a variety of perspectives on the choice not to have children, but Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed is more about the personalities and life histories of the writers.
