"We are finite beings in an infinite existence on a never-ending exploration called life," notes this teenage author. Struggling with the basic questions we all encounter along the journey yet guided by his father's often overused but subtly comforting adage Life Is Not A Dress Rehearsal, Anthony Orlando takes us through his unique adventures in the hope that we might all find the answer to life's queries. With the pioneer attitude that man was meant to explore, Anthony combines the stories of his interesting travels with insights from a teenage soul to write Life Is Not a Dress Rehearsal: The Spiritual Journey of a Teenage Traveler. From a near hole-in-one on the cliffs of Pebble Beach to a historic journey through Colonial Williamsburg, Anthony's trek is a refreshingly original parable that allows us to explore our own existence and the underlying spiritual thread. In a heroic tale that entails exciting trips across the world, sentimental insights into the beauty of the human condition, and a distressing search into life and death at their worst, Anthony tells the saga of human nature in prose so down-to-earth and inviting that we cannot help but join him on his reflective journey.

Book Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Anna Quindlen’s classic reflection on a meaningful life makes a perfect gift for any occasion. “Life is made of moments, small pieces of silver amidst long stretches of tedium. It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won’t happen. We have to teach ourselves now to live, really live . . . to love the journey, not the destination.” In this treasure of a book, Anna Quindlen, the bestselling novelist and columnist, reflects on what it takes to “get a life”—to live deeply every day and from your own unique self, rather than merely to exist through your days. “Knowledge of our own mortality is the greatest gift God ever gives us,” Quindlen writes, “because unless you know the clock is ticking, it is so easy to waste our days, our lives.” Her mother died when Quindlen was nineteen: “It was the dividing line between seeing the world in black and white, and in Technicolor. The lights came on for the darkest possible reason. . . . I learned something enduring, in a very short period of time, about life. And that was that it was glorious, and that you had no business taking it for granted.” But how to live from that perspective, to fully engage in our days? In A Short Guide to a Happy Life, Quindlen guides us with an understanding that comes from knowing how to see the view, the richness in living.
