Summary

Just about everything today comes with an operating manual--from your computer to your car, from your cell phone to your iPad. Is it possible that life comes with an operating manual, as well? That's the premise of Tom Shadyac's first book. Written as a series of essays and dialogues, we are invited into a conversation that is both challenging and empowering. The question now is, can we discern what is written inside of this operating manual and garner the courage to live in accordance with its precepts?
