For what it's worth, those articles and reviews that you mentioned seem to come out of Western and capitalist mindsets, but the author of the book is very French and very much not of that genre.

I think it's likely enough that you might be surprised that it's worth getting the book and seeing what you think.

Of course you might not like it, but I am so starved for novelty that I will explore opportunities for that dopamine hit on principle even if they don't all pan out.

If you read it and find it novel and interesting, I would be honored if you let me know. My email is in my profile.

The author and his late wife are fascinating. Look up the 'order without design podcast', and you're bound to be entertained.

I'm already honored by the amount of due diligence you have done, so even if you don't get the book or get it and don't follow up with me, you've given me a lovely thing, kind internet stranger.
