The words that encouraged the author to write this book and share it with others was a quote by Ernest Hemingway: “In order to write about life, first we must live it.”

Based on wide experiences, the author has developed a particular view about living to the fullest during all phases of his life. The philosophy was about getting the right mix in life, comprised of many drivers, including health, family/friends, education, career, wealth, social life, religion/spiritualism, and other external influences.

It is also critical to appreciate the timeline for one’s life, which was addressed by a prominent British Philosopher and Author, A. C. Grayling, in an article published in Unlimited by UBS/Vanity Fair Partnership, which stated:

The average lifespan of a human is less than a thousand months. You should spend some time thinking about how to live it. The key question is how to manage your time. The generic answers are friendship, love, making a positive difference, etc. The content of these answers and those specific to one’s talents and interests must be very much one’s own. Essentially, the goal is to live a life worth living.”

This book, however, does not expose one to high-level philosophies, deep religious insights, or even a literary expose of sorts. But, for those who have an open mind and are willing to appreciate and accept some very simple and commonsense guidelines, this book may help them plan and/or tweak the way they currently approach life.
