In the Age of Influencers, Brosh is a pleasant reminder that self-centered stories don't have to be selfish. Solutions and Other Problems give us glimpses into a wonderfully unique view of the universe, the details and reactions routinely surprising but not alien. While the plethora (and a half) of self-important content providers out there, providing content that is mostly egotistical and assumes its own importance (and remember, children, what happens when we 'assume'?), seems to suggest (and simultaneously negate) that everyone has a story to tell, Brosh gives us a highly personal viewpoint that toes its own line of logic and also proves wise and familiar. A friend of mine gave me this book and provided one selling point to get my butt into reading it: that the last sentence of the first chapter described her own life. That sentence? "The only thing worse than getting trapped in the same bucket nineteen times is surrender." Brosh has a talent for phrasing and perspective that makes this book something I'd love to hand over to aliens as good reason NOT to destroy us with their antimatter-based weaponry. I think aliens would appreciate us better than influencers do.
