Synopsis: "In today’s world of uncertainty and weighty decisions, Adding A Little Levity, is the perfect bedtime read. A chapter a night will leave you smiling, as you drift off into a peaceful sleep. The problem is—you’ll be chuckling in your dreams." — Sally Fernandez, Author of the "Max Ford Thriller" Series.
Make someone smile and you have done well; make someone laugh out loud, and you have achieved something greater. This witty, wry collection of essays takes the reader from a blue-collar boyhood in Queens across the river to cutthroat Wall Street, across the seas to Japan and Puerto Rico, and back again. Reality and hyperbole collide in tales of life’s universal and painful experiences—the big interview, meeting your future in-laws, and travel debacles galore—where to "add a little levity" is to survive, and thrive!
