Shelving this one for a bit at the halfway point. There is mostly a common thread that runs through the book, but the stories are here, there, and everywhere. I need a break. I’m fatigued from the scattered-ness of the content. There are plenty of make-ya-thinkers in here, but some of the metaphors are too out there for me.

“Consumer culture promises us that we can buy our way out of pain - that the reason we’re sad and angry is not that being human hurts; it’s because we don’t have those countertops, her thighs, these jeans. This is a clever way to run an economy, but it is no way to run a life. Consuming keeps us distracted, busy, and numb. Numbness keeps us from becoming.”
