Summary of April Lane Benson's To Buy or Not to Buy
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Overshopping is a coping mechanism that temporarily distracts you from your authentic personal needs that aren’t being met. It’s a way you temporarily distract yourself from your authentic personal needs that aren’t being met. #2 There are as many reasons to overshop as there are overshoppers. To keep things manageable, I’ve distilled most of them into eleven categories. Each one is a way of dealing with thorny individual issues and unmet personal needs. #3 The advertisers’ promises of commercial transformation are false. Buying cannot change unpleasant realities in your life, and it instead gives you short-term relief that only makes things worse in the long run. #4 The urge to shop is a sign of avoidance. You're avoiding some action you know you should take or ignoring some problem you know you should deal with. The call to avoidance shopping cannot silence the very real need for action, only briefly muffle it.
