Creating this book must have been very crucial for the authors. I get that people want a straightforward "How-To" clean your crap and all, but I think this book gave its best to reach out to a certain audience. It's difficult to teach people how to live their lives and I think the experiences that were shared in this book, helped some of us in a way. Reading a self-help book doesn't always tell you to do this and that to achieve something, you also have to have a bit of imagination and perspective which this book wants us to do. The experiences shared here were real and some of us may not have experienced it but at least the moral lesson is there: to appreciate people around us more than what we buy. It doesn't necessarily mean to cut the crap and give up on things you want the most, you can still buy things you want, after all, the reason we buy clothes is that we want to dress up for the occasion or for someone to notice us, or just about ourselves feeling great.
