This book is a pithy nod to the fact that life is simpler than we try to make it. It shows how the truisms for most of our woes can be boiled down to four well-chosen words. Author Patti Digh (Life is a Verb) takes the issues of our busy, burdened day and proves that rather than solving a complexity with another complexity, the answer may well lie in simple actions.
Following an overall introduction reflecting on the power of words in self improvement and self discovery, Patti introduces twelve hot-button issues - each addressed by 5 to 7 wise and witty four-word missives. Each is beautifully illustrated with an original artist's work, making the final book a visual must for artists as well as the multitudes drawn to self-help books.
