Overview

Don’t tighten up—lighten up! This upbeat guide is filled with quotes to boost your spirits, even in the midst of chaos.

In The Lighten Up Book, humor expert Allen Klein has gathered his favorite wise words to help readers power their lives with the positive. We have all weathered a lot of storms in recent times, and we can use some reminders of what we truly value in our life—family, friendship, community, leadership, service, helping others.

As inspirational as it is instructive, The Lighten Up Book is a treasury of moving and meaningful sayings, focused on topics like fun, play, comedy, and laughter, that spur you to live life to the fullest. You can dip into it when you need a pick-me-up, or select one quote every day for in-depth thought and meditation. Either way, they all have the potential to be life-changing.

“[A] gem of a book.”?Dr. Jeffrey L. Gurian, author of Healing Your Heart by Changing Your Mind
