  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loretta La Roche&lt;/b&gt; has helped millions of people find ways to lighten up and overcome stress. Now, in &lt;i&gt;Life Is Short&#8212;Wear Your Party Pants, &lt;/i&gt;she gives you the tools you need to not only &lt;i&gt;reduce &lt;/i&gt;feelings of tension, but also to bring joy, passion, and gusto into your life. Her techniques are a brilliant blend of old-world common sense and the most contemporary research in brain chemistry, psychology, and mind-body studies. Loretta gives you dozens of proven techniques for recognizing the ten simple truths that will lead you to an intense, happy, successful life: &lt;i&gt;resilience, living in the moment, optimism, acceptance, humor, creativity, moderation, responsibility, meaning, &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;i&gt;connection.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;             Loretta&amp;rsquo;s wisdom evolved from her own life&#8212;one filled with the demands of being a single mother of three; of starting her own business when she was broke; and of the wacky invasiveness of her Italian family. She&amp;rsquo;s like all of us: real, flawed, stressed out, and on edge. Her magic comes from an ability to not take herself too seriously, and to always shift her focus &lt;i&gt;away &lt;/i&gt;from the self-destructive and &lt;i&gt;toward &lt;/i&gt;the truly important things in life.&lt;br&gt;             In her work, Loretta has seen tens of thousands of people who live their lives as if they&amp;rsquo;re sitting in a waiting room, hoping that their turn comes up next. This book will show you that life is not something to be &lt;i&gt;endured, &lt;/i&gt;but is something to be truly appreciated. We need to remember how to access our inner abundance, which allows us to be heart-centered, joy-filled human beings.&lt;br&gt;             As Loretta says: &lt;i&gt;&#8220;Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift&#8212;that&amp;rsquo;s why they call it the present.&#8221; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>
