On a lark, I picked up a book I had never heard of. This I Believe is a series of essays by many authors, each focusing on one strongly held personal belief. The authors are all different types of people connected by these essays. I listened to This I Believe: The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women and for some of the essays I drove slow. The essays are all read by the authors and it's great to hear them in the author's voice, particularly Gloria Steinem's. I recently mentioned the essay entitled "Always go to the funeral" to a friend and it sparked a very interesting discussion. Some of the essays spoke to me more than others (I'll admit I skipped past a few). I'm glad I listened to it. It's had me wondering how I could sum up my most important belief so succinctly.
