A delightful and insightful chronicle of the ways one man finds joy through his relationships with family, friends, and ultimately himself. Focusing less on results and more on joy, Paul agrees that we should live like heaven's on earth, dance like nobody's watching, and love like we've never been court ordered. Some curse the darkness, but Paul sees an opportunity for looting. Paul continuously learns that the rewards of a day well lived are achieved by taking life in rather than trying to take it over. Hence, Carpe Diem, Maana. This book is a funny reminder that in all its tough and torrid forms, life is a wonderful gift (but keep the receipt).
