But you are the only person alive who has sole custody of your life. Your particular life. Your entire life. Not just your life at a desk, or your life on the bus, or in the car, or at the computer. Not just the life of your mind, but the life of your heart. Not just your bank account, but your soul.
This (extremely) short guide to a happy life by Anna Quindlen is a very quick read with quite a few nuggets of wisdom. Encouraged to get a ‘real’ life that we can enjoy in addition to our obligations, we are also treated to some outstanding photos of people doing just that. The book is so short that I’ll keep my review short as well.
Recommended for Quindlen fans and those needing a ‘Q’ author or a short non-fiction title for reading challenges.
2000, 50 pp.

I love Anna Quindlen.
I may need to check this one out.
I haven’t read any Quindlen in years. I must remedy that.
I haven’t read any Anna Quindlen. is this a good place to start or is it too short to get a feel for her writing?
I definitely need a Q author
ds and Kailana, I’ve only read Blessings and this one so far. I did like Blessings.
Holly, it’s so short that it’s worth the risk.
Pam, it’s pretty short. It took less than 45 minutes to an hour to read.
Veens, she’s always a good one for Q’s!
This was a short sweet book IMO. I like Quinlen’s writing style a lot.
I am a big fan of Quindlen’s writing so I might see if I can track down a copy of this one.
