This book presents 50 keys for living the good life. Building on her successful series of small books about big ideas ("Choosing Happiness", "Things I Want My Daughters to Know"), Alexandra Stoddard's new book focuses on taking charge of your life, your way. In brief essays filled with the optimism, ideas, and examples her readers love, she shares 50 choices you can make to live joyfully in pursuit of what is true, good and beautiful. Her essays remind us to trust ourselves (Information Is Not Inspiration), to stay steady in a storm (Your Choices Count Most in a Crisis), to take risks (Leave the Safe Harbour), to finish unfinished business (Have As Few Regrets as Possible), to surround ourselves with delights (Redefine What Is Beautiful), and to have fun (Cheap Thrills Are Thrilling). This will be Alexandra's 25th book, with publication timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the publication of her classic book on inspired lifestyle "Living a Beautiful Life".
"While life may throw us curveballs, only we can choose to duck or come out swinging." -- Chicago Sun-Times
