This book can change the way you live your life. A talented cast of readers dispenses advice with just the appropriate tone. Individual articles such as "How to Listen," "How to Paint a Room," and "How to do Laundry" capture the recognizable voices of experts like Larry King, Bob Vila, and Heloise.
