Book Review : Beautiful Stranger - Hope Donahue



IMG_6580.jpeg

Misery can lead you to 2 possibilities, becoming someone who holds grudges or becoming someone who feels that you are a loser. Both can make different circumstances. Misery can make you a different person from the way you deal with it.

This world is full of illusions. Everyone is full of their own illusions depending on how you respond and how you deal with them. Something that is hard but this is a challenge. People's life challenges are different.

However, in my opinion lately there is one book that must be read in terms of self-awareness. This book tells the story of someone's misery in socializing. Social that is too massive from the social media trend makes people hypnotized to do everything to look perfect.

Social media destroys many people (not everyone), of course there are many people who are helped by social media to enrich themselves and even fill themselves with many skills and abilities, but unfortunately, there are some people who are almost crazy because of social media.

Social media destroys anyone who wants to look perfect, especially beauty and wealth. That's why the flexing trend and beauty content are the most popular. This is one of the most dangerous poisons of all cyanide.

The book by Hope Donahue, entitled 'Beautiful Stranger' is a book written from a true story of the author. A book of self-discovery, how she became a person who acted rashly for the sake of popularity amidst the rise of social media work. She was addicted to being beautiful amidst the trend that being beautiful is everything. Until finally she changed herself and became someone 'Beautiful Stranger'.

In this book, Hope Donahue delves into the depths of the world of plastic surgery that has swept away many people. Especially a predatory surgeon, where he always praises many people for the results of plastic surgery and makes patients continue to dig up reasons to operate on him and change himself.

In this book, Hope Donahue even underwent 7 plastic surgeries to be perfect. Wealth, popularity, beauty and even social status are not enough for everything. Until finally she gave up and knew that she had to recover from it all.

This book tells a lot about dark secrets that people never know, covered by all the perfection on social media.

But what I know is, this book can make us learn something. About the depth of knowledge about ourselves. Shouldn't we live to be ourselves? Not for others?

This book is very good to read, in terms of organized writing, inspiring true stories and also the perspective of Hope Donahue. In my opinion, this book is too heavy like watching someone's sad documentary story on Netflix. But, I think this is a very good book to learn about true beauty.
