And the best part-- after reading it, you won't long for those single days of hangovers and empty relationships, but rather appreciate where you are today as a mom and wife. Click here to buy.

Looking to be inspired? This is the book for you. When college professor Randy Pausch was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams'--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment. It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. This father of three has taken the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture so touching and written an inspiring book. Click here to buy.
