"Psychologists call it 'learned helplessness' when a person believes, as I did during my youth, that the choices I made had no effect on the outcomes in my life." - J.D. Vance
A memoir of a man who suffered a lot to get to where he is. It serves as an analysis of a culture in crisis but also, as proof that hard work pays off and that it doesn't matter how bad your situation is, you can always move forward. A very touching story with a bit of humor and a lot of interesting anecdotes. Many people have lost the opportunity to touch the American dream, J.D Vance talks all about in this moving memoir.
P.S. Hillbilly Elegy is an extremely touching book which serves as an eye-opener about the cultural decline of the United States.

This is a very well written book. Ot was so interesting in explaining the plight of the white folks living in the rust belt. JD gives an honest insight into his upbringing. It’s a book where you find yourself rooting for him. Highly recommend!
