In 2018, my One Word for the year was Optimism, so I picked up Lenny Ravich’s Everlasting Optimism: 9 Principles for Success, Happiness and Powerful Relationships. With March’s focus on National Optimism Month, it’s a perfect fit!
Ravich originally wrote the first part of this book at the age of 64 in 2001 and entitled it A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Enlightenment. In 2018, at the age of 81, he rewrote, added, edited, and renewed the contents to create Everlasting Optimism. Lenny believes that “A message from the heart reaches the heart, but a message from the brain reaches the butt.”
George Carlin, his all-time favorite comedian said, “People who see life as anything more than pure entertainment are missing the point.”
81 year-old Lenny says, “Now is the best moment of my life because there is no other moment. I only live now. This is the only time that exists.”
