Vivere: Live, Laugh, & Just Be

By Alex Abaz

What is the secret to happiness? “The recipe for your exuberance combines nuggets of joy, hysteria, and wisdom.” Oh No! That’s someone else’s book. This book, “Vivere: Live, Laugh, and Just Be.” is intended to inspire you to live your best life despite the day-to-day grind. It's a beautiful book that is intended to amuse you and teach valuable life lessons.

“Vivere: Live, Laugh, and Just Be” started as a personal gratitude journal during a difficult time in the author’s life. Most of us “live” in a virtual reality or fantasy world which leaves us unfulfilled and disappointed. We need real-life scripts to inspire us. The journal is raw and honest. It’s a snapshot into the life of a stay-at-home mom and an entrepreneur which is bound to inspire anyone with relationship problems, work challenges, financial woes, and parenting guilt. It proves that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Each day presents us opportunities to learn from. The book weaves lessons and stories about life: weddings and funerals, courtship and friendship, dreams and destiny, fun and laughter, pets and parenting; love and loss, and anger and fear. It speaks to outdated rituals, nostalgic traditions, and fun excursions. Life can amuse us at every turn when we pay attention. There is beauty and pleasure along the way and this book is full of beautiful images.

We love the movies. It’s art imitating life. Motion-picture films have given us some of the most memorable lines. The author draws upon favorite scenes from a selection of films such as: Cast Away, Titanic, Ocean’s Eleven, The Hunger Games, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Easy A. The goal is to recreate the experience which the author went through – one of harmony in the midst of chaos. “Vivere: Live, Laugh, and Just Be” is about experiencing wonder, inspiration, and abandonment. It’s about taking chances and realizing your dreams. It’s about finding joy in the ordinary. It’s about moving on. It’s about “vivere”.
