Living with a man who spent most of his time at his office, who insulted her, who blamed his problems on her, and who showed very little respect for her, was obviously a major factor in the plummeting of Nova's positive outlook on life. Even a romantic, spontaneous attempt to save the marriage on Nova's part was quickly discouraged when Brendan blatantly told her she was "acting like a whore" and that she "disgust[ed] him" (Dearing 55). Both Susan and Nova obviously felt they were worthless people, and, because of their low self-esteem, there was very little motivation to improve their present lives. As there was nothing holding them back, they took the plunge and started their lives over again on fresh, clean slates, their first step towards spiritual healing. .

As a result of low self-esteem, many people begin to feel as though they no longer want to go on living the life they have come to know, and that they need some sort of escape from the people and places that cause them to feel so low. In the cases of Susan Colgate and Nova Philip, they not only experience this sentiment, they end up carrying out actions that create a whole new identity for their characters. After a serious plane crash, instead of picking up the pieces and going home, Susan decides to disappear from the public eye and go along with the public assumption that she died in the crash along with all the other passengers, therefore giving her an anonymous identity. Susan's spontaneous spiritual journey, which entails her new life of uncertainty, is inspired by the fact that she "no longer gives a rat's ass" (Coupland 187) about what people think of her, or about the so-called glamour of Hollywood. Even though people pegged her to be "as crazy as a fucking loon" (Coupland 140) for running away from her fame and her fortunes, she ended up being much happier when all was said and done. Nova Philip experienced the desire to change her identity under extremely sudden and bizarre circumstances: the intestines of a shark in a market booth told her to leave home.
