THOUGHTS/REVIEW:

It all began at the doctor’s office, when author David Levy was only 6 years old, trying to talk his way out of an injection from Nurse Gabe. The LIFE LESSON he quickly learned from that experience was summed up in three words from a Nike slogan, ‘Just Do It’ or when you have to face the inevitable, it’s best to just get it over with.

This book is a compilation of anecdotes, and life experiences in which author Levy had collected over the past sixty years. The book was an easy read, and could probably be read quickly in a span of an hour or less. However, this book is one best read slowly over a course of a few days while savoring and pondering on the stories.

This is a great book I recommend that would also make for amazing gifts to friends and families of all ages.
