[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that she's a single mom & that promoting products earns her money but didn't she write several books that are all about "Why do we pursue more when we'd be happier with less?". It seems like a contradiction to encourage people to buy a bunch of stuff they don't need & then write about being happier living without excess.[/quote]

That is great point.  It's utterly ridiculous to on one hand promote a message of Less Is More and Say No To Materialism then on the other hand immediately pivot into Hey, Here Are A Million Things You Just Have To Have!.  The cognitive dissonance is insane. On some level it must bother her as she's a thoughtful person but I think the desire for money quickly outweighs this small voice.   Gotts get that money!

It would have been different if she had addressed the issue, like, “Since 7 was written and released, I’ve relaxed my views on consumerism/materialism….blah blah, blah.” Instead she RE-RELEASED it and called it Simple & Free - AND continued trying to sell junk to all of us. Amazing! [/quote]
