Nothing Is Worth More Than This Day ─ Finding Joy in Every Moment

There is always something to celebrate. Lose sight of this fact, and life can seem a little dreary; be reminded of it, and suddenly joy returns. "NOTHING IS WORTH MORE THAN THIS DAY" presents hundreds of reminders from some of the smartest people who ever lived that happiness is everywhere and the glass actually is half-full—sometimes you just need a little prod to see it.

A thoughtful celebration of the joy that surrounds us from the brother-and-sister team whose ears are exquisitely attuned to the perfect quote, "NOTHING IS WORTH MORE THAN THIS DAY" has a personal story—it was born when Kathy Petras learned she had breast cancer, and reading the words of those who found joy in the everyday was her way to stay upbeat through her treatment.
