Bootstrapped: Liberating Ourselves from the American Dream by Alissa Quart

4.0

Bootstrapped focuses on how the American obsession with self-reliance has permeated our culture with toxic, unrealistic expectations. I fully agree with the author's premise, but still learned a bit about US history. The takeaways are pretty partisan, leaning to progressive ideology, so this may turn some people off if they share different views. I really liked the call to action at the end and ways we can help and build community.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC. All thoughts are my own.
