Rowlandson concludes that humans must accept God's will and make sense of it throughout her narrative.

The man she dances with, however, ultimately confirms her adherence to these standards, leaving her feeling disappointed.

O’Dell’s
"To survive usefulness is to fully embrace and make peace with our own inherent unprofitability, and in doing so, to loosen our grip on the logic of usefulness that has colonized our minds and invaded our dreams." The quotations in this passage are representative of the book's major topics, which include resisting the attention economy, rethinking productivity and usefulness, and the significance of interacting with our surroundings. According to O'Dell, the relentless pressure to produce and be useful has caused us to lose touch with our inner selves, one another, and the natural environment. She contends that a more meaningful and contented existence can be attained by accepting "unprofitability" and appreciating poetry, art, and the art of doing nothing.
