About the book
Anna Quindlen, the best-selling novelist and columnist, writes a short reflection on what it means to get a life: to live fully each day as oneself instead of simply getting through the days. She calls knowledge of mortality a gift, since without a sense of the clock ticking it is easy to waste time. Her mother died when Quindlen was nineteen, and she describes that loss as the point after which she saw the world in Technicolor rather than black and white. From it she took a lasting lesson, that life is glorious and no one should take it for granted. Life, in her telling, is made of small bright moments set among long stretches of tedium.
James Clear put it on an August reading list, recommending it as a short, inspiring reminder to be grateful for one's life and to keep that life in balance.
