As hackneyed as it may sound, living life to the fullest has always been the constant reminder from those who earlier came, saw, and conquered life. In this Information Age, communicating with each other may be as easy as navigating one's Blackberry. However, an invisible communication gap seems to grow wide as ever among family and friends. Humans were created not to merely exist and Dr J's Year teaches its readers that there's a huge difference between existing and living. From spending more time with people that matter the most to making a contribution to a cause for AIDS-afflicted children of the Third World, war veteran turned philosophy professor Dr. J knows exactly that the point of living is to simply share the love around and make other people happy. Inspiring and heartwarming, Dr. J's Year reminds both the young and old that a life well-lived is what matters the most at the end of the day.
