    Beschreibung von Audible

    I'm not a fan of those simple ten-step guides to better living, so I was skeptical about Anna Quindlen's new book. But listening to her was like getting advice from a good friend. While leading a busy life, she urges, we must find time for the important aspects of life: books, beaches, friends, family. This is a message I need to be reminded of frequently. Thanks, Anna. (Beth, VP & Publisher)

    Inhaltsangabe

    From the New York Times best-selling author of Alternate Side, Anna Quindlen’s classic reflection on a meaningful life.

    “Life is made of moments, small pieces of silver amidst long stretches of tedium. It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won’t happen. We have to teach ourselves now to live, really live...to love the journey, not the destination.”  

    In this treasure of a book, Anna Quindlen, the best-selling novelist and columnist, reflects on what it takes to “get a life” - to live deeply every day and from your own unique self, rather than merely to exist through your days. “Knowledge of our own mortality is the greatest gift God ever gives us,” Quindlen writes, “because unless you know the clock is ticking, it is so easy to waste our days, our lives.” Her mother died when Quindlen was 19: “It was the dividing line between seeing the world in black and white, and in Technicolor. The lights came on for the darkest possible reason.... I learned something enduring, in a very short period of time, about life. And that was that it was glorious, and that you had no business taking it for granted.” But how to live from that perspective, to fully engage in our days? In A Short Guide to a Happy Life, Quindlen guides us with an understanding that comes from knowing how to see the view, the richness in living.
