4.0

There's a lot of thoughts in this book that, no matter what, keeps you thinking even after you've put it down. Things to reflect about your own habits, your own life, wondering how to deal with the prospect of your own future or even the possibility of your lack of a future. Things to reflect about our society, our addiction to the things we care for and love, or that are just there as a natural part of everyday life. 

What would you give up to live just one more day?

I did enjoy this book, and I really liked how reflective it was and how the things that disappeared had a very strong thing to say about the way we live, especially now in the 21st century. However, and this may be cultural differences but im not sure, I didnt really agree with all his conclusions. Some of them seemed, to a degree, to take away the point of it all. 

An enjoyable book, which stays after you put it down.
