"The mass of men," the American philosopher Henry Thoreau said, "lead lives of quiet desperation." While that may seem an overly dramatic way of putting it, there is little doubt that many of us are often dissatisfied with our lives. We have the suspicion, too, that life is passing us by, that we are missing out on a great adventure. At the same time we sense that if only we knew how to go about it our lives could become so much more satisfying and fulfilling.
Well, this book is designed with exactly that purpose -- to help you make the most of your life. The editors of Reader's Digest have carefully chosen a large number of articles that give realistic, down-to-earth advice on how we can deal with the various problems we face, as well as suggestions on what we can do to enrich and enliven our lives. For example you will find advice here on how to combat depression as well as tips on how to heal family fights. You will learn ""How to Direct Your Dreams"" as well as the "Lost Art of Memorizing".
As with all Reader's Digest books, this one is designed to be a permanent addition to your library. It is a book that you can turn to again and again, each time finding something fresh and insightful. So make the most of it -- and make the most of your life.
