In this book, Tony Brown responds to Ms. Quindlen's popular publication, A Short Guide to a Happy Life.  Brown's challenge to Quindlen's 2000 essay is a verbal debate between a best-selling novelist and a middle-aged father, who are both trying to make sense of the world.  Responding to Anna Quindlen's A Short Guide to a Happy Life, Brown's analysis braids appreciation, controversy, and a new perspective on one of America's most popular reads.

Some Excerpts from a Happy Guide to a Short Life...

"… make it impossible for anyone to tell at any single point in time if you are at work, play, or doing something for your friends and family."

"... do not forget, love is a verb."

"It makes no sense to revise history so it brightens up today."

"Life is the time of your life."

"I do not think anyone who spent all their time on earth loving and serving their friends and family could possibly die with any regrets."
