O knihe

If laughter is the best medicine, then smiles are the pills of healing we administer. A Million Smiles contains 101 pills - each in a capsule of a smilemaking story. Listen in as a child learns to use chopsticks, a dog checks his pee-mails and shames his master. Come along to experience the ups and downs of aging, how grandchildren train grandparents, spouses share laughter and healing magic. Look over our shoulder as a father lays verbal land mines for his son, smiles melt chocolate, and a real life wizard makes fear disappear. There are 101 stories in this book. They are all pills of healing, a source of smiles and a lot of chuckles. Like this one... The Proudest Day of My Life... was the day my son first beat me at chess (he was about five!). My dad watched. When we finished, I turned to my dad, saw him grinning, and asked why he was smiling? "I remember the day you first beat me... You were much older." Ouch! The journey is narrated by Peter Hartjens, a masterful story teller, healer, and Smilemaker, a man whose life goal is to cause in this world a million smiles and half a million tears of happiness. Can it be done? Read along and help make it happen. Here's what readers say about A Million Smiles. From a reader in North Carolina, "I smiled, laughed, wept, and nodded my head many times while I read, and now I have a warm fuzzy heart." And, from one in Ecuador, "To embrace Peter's delectable view of the world and his passion for everyday life would give us all a happier and healthier planet. No doubt about it, A Million Smiles is heartwarming Peter at his best." There is scientific evidence that people who smile a lot live longer. So how come there so many grumpy people? A Million Smiles wants to change that.
