Librarian is making progress.

read The Best Life Diet by Bob Greene (read all 8 entries…)
Commercialism 2 years ago

I’m having to work a bit to get past the oh-too-obvious money-making potentials in this book.

a) “bestlife™” is a product endorsement—The Barilla Plus pasta I just bought has it. Wondering how much Barilla pays Bob Greene for that….

b) thebestlife.com apparently has great stuff, the book says so, but it will cost you something like $60 to see it. Sheesh.

OK. Moving right along.

Down with commercialism

We live in such a market driven society these days, nothing is free and everything has an up sell,cross sell or upgrade related to it, they market to us the minute we emerge from the womb. There are some days when you just get plain tired of the whole thing.
