Wanting

Mimetic desires made sense as a phenomenon and I felt the draw of the book’s message. It’s however never the case for me that advice that will “change your life” actually ends up changing much - perhaps because the message is never that startling or profound enough.

I really liked this book. It's like a book report of the works of Rene Girard, written by a silicon valley entrepreneur. While a few parts rubbed me the wrong way, it was a fascinating read that really got me to see the world differently. I'm eager to go read the original source.
