Now she's distilled what she's learned about how to live a more exhilarating and meaningful life into three words: find the good. It's that simple-- and that hard. Lende reminds us that we can choose to see any event as an opportunity to find the good. Heather Lende is the author of "If You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name." Genre:  Essays.
