From Alexandra Stoddard - beloved lifestyle philosopher, mother, and
author of Choosing Happiness, a small book of wisdom about the big
questions of life, perfect for new graduates, new mothers, and as a
treasured gift from woman to woman.
Alexandra Stoddard, a mother, grandmother, and author of more than 25
books on personal fulfilment, shares a series of succinctly-stated
principles worth living by. Each statement is fleshed out in a few
brief, useful paragraphs. By turns wise ("Pain is inevitable; suffering
is a choice"), controversial ("Don't feel guilty about your feelings
toward your parents, stepparents, or in-laws"), affirming ("You don't
have to prove anything to anyone"), and humorous ("When you discover
something you love, stock up"), these short pieces cut to the essence of
what's important and are oases of clarity amid life's chaos.
