My Take

This was really a book fail.  I picked it up from the Library based on its subject matter as I had made a 2016 New Year’s resolution to have a “no-buy” year.  I really did not want any more stuff coming into my already full house.  Unfortunately, Not Buying It was more of a political screed and offered little in the way of helpful advice.  Best to “not buy it” and avoid this book.
