'How Life Works' is about: Why the same things keep happening to you. Why bills come in bunches. It is about: How to find the love of your life. How to find the work you love. Why some people always fall on their feet - and how you can be like them. How Life Works explains why: It's not WHAT you know. It's not WHO you know. It's all about how you FEEL.
