“Now, what I really like about this book is that it’s part memoir, part workbook, and a little bit of everything else in between. Miranda is not advertising that everyone stops buying things; however, she instead encourages readers to take a step back and look at everything that we have in life, rather than what we don’t have.
I know that this is a pretty hot topic in general right now, with the boom of influencers on Instagram, and them making money off of telling everyone to buy, buy, buy. The pressure to purchase things is not just coming from advertisements, but it’s now coming from people whose lives we simply follow with interest (some whom we know in person, and others that we have never met).
That’s why Miranda’s book comes at such a timely moment. It’s an encouragement to try and focus more on things that have lasting value, and pay less attention to the many things surrounding us that we are told that we need, or worse, want.”
