This book describes a technique developed and refined by the authors, all of them young actors, in their work with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, actor W. H. Macy, and director Gregory Mosher. A Practical Handbook for the Actor is written for any actor who has ever experienced the frustrations of acting classes that lacked clarity and objectivity, and that failed to provide a dependable set of tools.

Four Months...and a Lifetime is the touching true story of a father who coached his son’s basketball team from kindergarten through eighth grade, a remarkable nine-year journey with the same boys. Their final march to the eighth-grade season championship is interspersed with the author’s own journey of falling in love with basketball in early-'70s New York, filled with anecdotes of Dr. J, sneaking into Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium, and playing pickup in Larry Bird’s home state of Indiana.

Anna is a young Hollywood film executive with a gift for picking box office winners. When she is passed over at work and in love, she begins to question herself. And when an escaped psychiatric patient crosses her path, she is intrigued by his insight. Anna finds herself surrounded by brilliantly vibrant and outrageously eccentric characters who, like many of us, are shaped by our pasts.

If you could fast forward your life to your deathbed and hear your regrets (and joys), then rewind and live your life with that knowledge, would you do it? This book provides that knowledge. After 14 years in the funeral business, Chris Meyer has sat with families and listened to their “could’ves”, “should’ves”, and “would’ves.” In doing so he learned many lessons - lessons that kept repeating themselves year after year. 

Life is short for all of us. I know this because I have been in the funeral industry for almost 20 years. My career has provided me with insight into what truly matters. For me, it is simply all of the small moments in life with my friends and family. However altruistic, I only wish to remind everyone of this simple message. That is the ultimate goal of this book: capture your moments. 

Like its predecessor, The Book of Moments Vol. 2: Friends and the Best is a simple coffee table book that highlights our special moments. Vol. 2 centers around friendship and moments you may consider to be the best.
