"If I Get to Five" by Fred Epstein, M.D., and Joshua Horwitz
There is no doubt that the last couple of books I've read have been a little heavy on the heart strings but I have no regret that I got through them. This book reminds me of what life is really about. It's about being loved and being heard no matter what stage of life you're in.
Dr. Epstein gives example after example of children that have inspired him. Children. These are the people we should look to when we want to know what makes us happy in life. The innocence that children have brings a new light to life. I think of that often with my own children. Do they really care what kind of furniture we have or how big our house is or how many vacations we take? No. They care that they are loved and cared for. They care that mommy and daddy are with them to play with them and read to them.
I really enjoyed this book and how each chapter is laid out to teach us how to live life through the mind of a child. It's easy to let bills and labels get in the way of our happiness as adults and a daily reminder of what really matters gives me a new perspective on life.
