Welcome to Litsy!

Susan O‘Malley started the project during a time of personal transition and passed away near full term with twins (who did not survive) before the book was published. These facts bring poignant context to the project.

Some favorites: “Be bad at something. Perfection is overrated.” - Margaret, 77

“Your heart has reasons your head does not know.” - Rachel, 24

“Try new things. It‘s ok to make mistakes.” - Emilia, 12

A quick read but powerful.

Basically a simplistic book of colorful motivational posters. There‘s just not much here, although it is pretty.

I read this at my local library - it's such a short read I felt silly checking it out. Cute premise and interesting to see how the advice varies by age (I loved reading the ones from actual 80+ year olds). I took pictures of a few that really spoke to me. More enjoyable and less superfluous than most coffee table books.

Love love love!! No this is not a serious advice book. It's a fun reminder of all the good. Quick advice from people of all ages. I'm planning on getting a few extra copies now to give as gifts.
