This is the second in a series by Ms. DiPirro. Like her first book in the series, Gratitude, this is a short book about being mindful. She begins the book with a couple of definitions of living in the moment.

One quote in the book states that forever is composed of nows by Emily Dickinson. I found that to speak volumes. Everyone rushes through life without realizing they need to live for the now.

She tells the reader why it is important to praise yourself and have self-confidence. I liked her advice not to dwell in the past or have regrets. The author gives readers an assignment to do something that your future self will thank you for doing.

There is a quote by Benjamin Franklin not to squander your life away. The author advises the reader to make the most of each day and evaluate how you spend your time. I believe her statement to learn how to say no is very important. This is something many people have trouble doing. I know I have a problem doing it. The book ends with several top ten lists with ways to help you live in the moment. This is another book that can be read many times.
