Now she's distilled what she's learned about how to live a more exhilarating and meaningful life into three words: find the good. It's that simple--and that hard.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Quirky and profound, individual and universal, \u003ci\u003eFind the Good\u003c\/i\u003e offers up short chapters that help us unlearn the habit--and it is a habit--of seeing only the negatives. Lende reminds us that we can choose to see any event--starting a new job or being laid off from an old one, getting married or getting divorced--as an opportunity to find the good. As she says, \"We are all writing our own obituary every day by how we live. The best news is that there's still time for additions and revisions before it goes to press.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ever since Algonquin published her first book, the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eIf You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name,\u003c\/i\u003e Heather Lende has been praised for her storytelling talent and her plainspoken wisdom. The \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e called her \"part Annie Dillard, part Anne Lamott,\" and that comparison has never been more apt as she gives us a fresh, positive perspective from which to view our relationships, our obligations, our priorities, our community, and our world.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An antidote to the cynicism and self-centeredness that we are bombarded with every day in the news, in our politics, and even at times in ourselves, \u003ci\u003eFind the Good\u003c\/i\u003e helps us rediscover what's right with the world.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Algonquin Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42824316977232,"sku":"9781616201678B","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781616201678-l.jpg?v=1785896045","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/find-the-good-unexpected-life-lessons-from-a-small-town-obit-9781616201678b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
