I’m mostly embarrassed I forced myself to read this book all the way through. The list of absolutely disgusting and useless businesses used as success stories is a blatant demonstration of the absolute wastefulness of our capitalist system pushing money and energy and mental power to ‘innovate’ in a bottom line capacity. There were a handful of useful tools but the content was painful to take in. These people are swimming in the coolaid and have no idea they are a giant red flag indicating the horrendous state our world is in.
