This charming and eccentric little book invites readers to embrace the impulse to wonder, the practice of noticing, and the deep inclination toward joy—no matter life’s difficulties. Through short, sparkling true stories, the author reveals how the good world is everywhere, waiting to be seen, savored, and celebrated daily. Smart, witty, and full of heart, this collection offers a fresh, joyous perspective reminiscent of Anne Fadiman, E.B. White, and Erma Bombeck. Each essay is a “diamond necklace” of moments that illuminate the beauty often overlooked, reminding readers that paying attention is a life-saving spiritual practice accessible to all. Perfect for fans of Ross Gay and lovers of literary nonfiction, this book is an uplifting gift and a bright reminder that joy can be found in the smallest details—if only we choose to look.
