I hope this isn't a landfill thread in the making, If so mods feel free to delete it.
but to elaborate the title, For anyone else after reading the book how did your perception of the world change?
To give an example and this is going to sound silly...but I literally began realizing everything is a brand, and how my shopping habits as a consumer reflected the products that constitute my home. Basically every thing I buy is branded by the store I shop at(Target,Kroger) Mainly because it's cheaper and the quality is on par with "name" brands.
I've also gained a deeper appreciation for supermarkets and stores that actually take the time to make sure their merchandise is clean and presented well. I can't even step foot in Wal-mart now because the majority are just dirty and unkempt. But when I walk into a Kroger I see groceries immediately to my right that are neatly organized and color coded and now I understand that when these stores were made the designers intended this of course but I now see how much time and planning goes into many the facets of capitalism we tend to overlook. Overall, I'm just more appreciative of others creations and I've become much less critical.
Anyone else see things in a different light?(INB4 "you sound like a Grade A consumer")
