‘100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist’s Guide to a Happy Life’
By Dick Van DykeThis “Optimist’s Guide to Life” offers advice on living not just a long life, but a full and joyful one. “Commit to Play,” “Accept Your Limitations,” and “Figure Out Who You Aren’t” are three examples of these rules, each accompanied by a short essay. Fans of “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” “Mary Poppins,” and other productions will also relish the author’s stories from his past and his life today. Here you’ll find that same upbeat attitude and twinkle in the eye that were this actor’s trademarks.
