Editorial Reviews Amazon.com "I'm not particularly qualified by profession or education to give advice and counsel," confesses author Anna Quindlen, as she begins this tender little instruction book. "It's widely known in a small circle that I make a mean tomato sauce, and I know many inventive ways to hold a baby while nursing, although I haven't had the opportunity to use any of them in years." It is precisely this commonplace form of wisdom that make readers trust and respect Quindlen. She uses her candid, heart-to-heart narrative voice along with her novel-writer descriptive skills to show readers how good we have it: "Life is made up of moments, small pieces of mica in a long stretch of glittering gray cement." Later she urges readers to "Look at the fuzz on a baby's ear. Read in the backyard with the sun on your face." The format smacks of "gift book," with an abundance of pleasing, artsy photographs. Don't be ashamed to fall for the packaging, though. This is one of those books that could remain in the living room for years or in the family for generations. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From Booklist

following review helpful: Okay. So what did I do? Did I return the mini sound bite version of how to have a happy life and instead buy the Dali Lama's version or the King James version or what? This is what I did with the 8 bucks I was going to spend on the book. I bought a double-dipped ice cream cone and a bunch of minature yellow roses. I then sent the graduate a check for 50 bucks and we both were very happy with my decision. I don't know. I still think I might go back and buy a few copies for gifts. Ms. Quindlen has always been one of my favorite writers and this is a darn good essay even if it's all fluffy and marshmellowy and already been done a million other times at a million high school and college graduations across the country. A final note:I'm going to remember to say on my deathbed,"I wish I'd
spent more time at the office." --This text refers to the Hardcover
