3/5 Stars (%55/100) Though I've found the book interesting sometimes, it was difficult to go through because she was heavily inspired by Sartre's ideas. Here's a brief synopsis/analysis: Simone de Beauvoir visited the US in 1947, the same year Sartre published his own essay, and recorded her experiences in America Day by Day.

And now she was a part of his lifeblood, vital to his functioning. He never wanted to tell her, but the best thing she could have done for them and their relationship had been to leave. It had shaken him up enough to make him open his eye and realize a life with her was something he wanted, a future with her was something he craved.

Spirit of Capitalism
> "It was the power of religious influence, not alone, but more than anything else, which created the differences of which we are conscious to-day” Max Weber saw reformation as a new form of religion control, not elimination of Church’s ones. His aim focused on finding intimate relationship between asceticism and capitalism. He
"Lutheran conception of salvation by the forgiveness of sins and not by practical sanctification. In place of the systematic rational struggle to attain and retain certain knowledge of future (otherworldly) salvation comes here the need to feel reconciliation and commonly with God now. Thus the tendency of the pursuit of present enjoyment to hinder the ravonal organization of economic life, depending as it does on provision for the future, has in a certain sence a parallel in the field of religious life"
"But compared to Calvinism, the rationalization of life was necessarily less intense because the pressure of occupation with a state of grace which had continually to be proved, and which was concerned for the future in eternity, was diverted to the present emotional state"
For the first time, I don’t see the past or the present. I see my future with the most infuriating enigma. The most chaotic person on earth. And the love of my fucking life.

And I realize now, more than ever, that I have lost all my best years! And now I know it and feel it more painfully from recognizing that God has sent me you, my good angel, to tell me that and show it. Now that I sit beside you and talk to you it is strange for me to think of the future, for in the future—there is loneliness again, again this musty, useless life; and what shall I have to dream of when I have been so happy in reality beside you! En güzel yıllarını heba etmişim! Artık bunun farkındayım ve fark etmiş olmaktan acı duyuyorum, çünkü siz bana Tanrı yolladı iyilik meleğim benim, bana bunları kanıtlamak için yolladı. Şimdi yanınızda oturmuş sizinle konuşurken geleceğe korkuyla bakıyorum, çünkü gelecekte yine yalnızlık, yine o yavan, o gereksiz yaşam var; artık gerçekten de yanınızda oturup bu mutluluğu tattıktan sonra artık neyin hayalini kurayım!

bol miktarda yumurta, biftek ve taze sebze içeren bir diyet
Bununla birlikte, tüm "sıradan kadınlar" sağlıklı, neşeli, iyimser bir tutuma ve iyi yapılmış giysilere sahip olsalardı, kozmetik endüstrisinin yok edilmesine doğru uzun bir yol kat edecekleri doğrudur. İyi bir sağlık, iyi bir vücut, temiz bir cilt, pırıl pırıl gözler, parlak saçlar - tüm bunlar öncelikle iyi bir diyetten gelir - çok fazla ekmek ve patatesten oluşan nişasta dolu bir diyet değil, bol miktarda yumurta, biftek ve taze sebze içeren bir diyet. Ve neşeli, iyimser bir tutum, geleceğe yönelik perspektifleri olan mutlu bir yaşamın ürünüdür. Kapitalizm tüm kadınlara bunları sağlayabilir mi? [However, it is true that if all the ''ordinary women'' had good health, a buoyant, optimistic attitude, well-made clothing, it would go a long way toward the destruction of the cosmetics industry. Good health, a good figure, a clear skin, sparkling eyes, lustrous hair -all these things come first of ali from a good diet - not a starch-filled diet of too much bread and potatoes but a diet that includes plenty of eggs and steak and fresh vegetables. And a buoyant, optimistic attitude is the product of a happy life with perspectives for the future. Can capitalism give these things to all women?] Cosrnetics, Fashions, and tJıe Exploitation of Women
Multiple times he has tried writing his thoughts about Marianne down on paper in an effort to make sense of them. He's moved by a desire to describe in words exactly how she looks and speaks. Her hair and clothing. The copy of Swann's Way she reads at lunchtime in the school cafeteria, with a dark French painting on the cover and a mint-coloured spine. Her long fingers turning the pages. She's not leading the same kind of life as other people. She acts so worldly at times, making him feel ignorant, but then she can be so naive. He wants to understand how her mind works... He writes these things down, long run-on sentences with too many dependent clauses, sometimes connected with breathless semicolons, as if he wants to recreate a precise copy of Marianne in print, as if he can preserve her completely for future review.
All these years have made me realise, there are four things in life you can't get too bogged down in: forever, morality, virtue, and life and death. Insistence can sometimes be a virtue. But if you insist too much on 'forever', your fear of losing someone will blur your vision; if you insist too much on 'morality', it will just become a stubborn obsession, most things are not so black and white; if you insist too much on 'virtue', you will become conceited, and try to change the rules to suit your values; if you insist too much on 'life and death', you're dwelling on the insignificant, and you would just be living a second-rate life. There are just some things that ought not to be questioned, ought not to be dwelled upon. What's done is done, whether it was right or wrong matters not. Wouldn't you rather think about the future?

Focus on innovating at value, not positioning against competitors
Kendimi kitabı okumuş saymıyorum, aksine üzerinde çalıştım ve bazı bölümlerini birden fazla kez yeniden okudum. Bunu 5 yıldan fazla bir süre önce duymuştum ve içindeki teorilerin geçerliliğini yitirmiş olmasını bekliyordum, ancak bunlar hâlâ günümüzün piyasa durumuyla tutarlı. Birden fazla açıdan görmenizi ve kitapta bahsedilen gerçek örneklerden
