作者：Michael Gates Gill

AMAZON讀者評論：

Gill's happiness is like a ray of hope - or a friendly hand extended to anyone who is experiencing the hardships of a tough economy. How to Save Your Own Life: 15 Lessons on Finding Hope in Unexpected Places seems to say that maybe we don't need all that we thought we needed - the prestigious job, the fashionable clothes, the cool sportscar, and the trappings of social privilege; maybe what we need most is to have ourselves back, and to rekindle the sense of joy in ordinary experiences.

This new book takes all the lessons he learned through his life experiences and boils them down to 15 life lessons that he shares with the reader. Some chapters will resonate with some people more than others, based upon where the reader is in his/her life journey.

The 15　lessons　are：

Listen - To Others Who Have Suffered and Survived   傾聽其他經曆過苦難而生存下來的人
Listen - To Your Own Heart to Find True Happiness  聆聽你內心的聲音來發現真正的幸福
Leap - With Faith　 帶著信心飛躍　
Let - Yourself be Helped  允許自己接受幫助
Look - With Respect at Every Individual You see　尊重你看到的每個人
Learn - From Your Children 向你的孩子們學習
Learn - From your Father 向你的父親學習
Learn - From your Mother 向你的母親學習
Lose - Your Watch (and Cell Phone and PDA!) 丟掉你的手表（還有手機和掌上筆記本！）
Let Go - And Let God　順其自然，讓自然帶領你
Laugh - with New Insight  帶著新的眼光大笑
Live - Each Day with Gratitude Like It Might be Your Last　感恩，把每一天當作你的最後一天
Late Bloomers - The last of Life Can Be the Best　生命的最後一段可能最好的一段
