Book excerpt: Already an internet phenomenon, these wise and insightful lessons by popular newspaper columnist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Regina Brett will make you see the possibilities in your life in a whole new way.

Brett now takes the 50 lessons and expounds on them in essays that are deeply personal.
