Everything about the world today operates off of this premise that importance is ranked by an honor system of likes. This book does a wonderful job in addressing these topics of importance for further discussion.
It drives me batty when I see young adults putting themselves out there in the hopes of either striking it rich via You-Tube or Instagram sensations or in order to captivate an audience which often times leads to a constant life of anxiety, fear, and trepidation.Why?
Are we that insecure? Selfish?
One of the reasons I don't use Instagram is because it's 'fake.'
Look, lets face facts shall we...
If you were to have a splendid moment-like say, a wedding of your dreams, and you're busy not focusing on your spouse but the next great image, what the hell does that say about your relationship?
You can't shade it in, color it out, fade it into the backdrop of life.
The world is so hung up on image, appearance, and the like that we forget about intellect, morality, and compassion.
We falter by ignoring the signs that one needs a mental evaluation if they plan to spend their days and nights wrapped up trying to impress their significant others especially in regards to seeking praise, attention, adulation from complete strangers.
Yes, it's true to surround yourself with like minds but not LIKES in general.
The sad fact is that narcissism and similar toxic personality trait disorders are increasing and it's been evidenced by this social media craze.
I pray it ends before someone finds out they spent a lifetime living a lie.
Thank you to the author, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
