St. Petersburg, Florida - Can you look back at your life and say you have no regrets? Are you bogged down by the meaningless complexities of the world? In his witty, conversational book, Let's Talk…About Making Your Life Exciting, Easier and Exceptional, debut author Art Rios wants to make sure his readers know that it's never too late to make your life exciting, easier, and exceptional.
"When, where, why, and how did life stop being exciting and straightforward?" Rios asks. "We've taken on so much stress and worry. All the time. But why? For what?"
In each of his "talks," Rios offers fun, simple ways you can improve your life today. It can be as easy as spending more time with family, relaxing with a long lunch, or enjoying a lazy Sunday in your pajamas. "Improving your life doesn't have to be complicated," says Rios. "It's just a matter of putting a little common sense and thought into the way you're living your life."
A trial lawyer by profession, a student of humanity by choice, and a friend to all by nature, Rios was inspired to write Let's Talk because of the ways he saw people overcomplicating their lives. "I'm someone people gravitate to for help," Rios says. "I care about people, always have, and this connection gave me inspiration to write Let's Talk."
In a time when the world looks bleaker than ever, Rios encourages his readers to concentrate on the here and now, to disengage from the sometimes toxic environment of social media, and to focus on what matters most—spending time with family and friends, being thankful for the things you do have, and unwinding with a glass of wine.
Here are a few topics that Rios covers in his "talks":
- The art of Happy Hour
- How to be yourself
- How to simplify and declutter your life
- The power of kindness and gratitude
- A balanced life of pleasure and responsibility
- Disconnecting from technology
- The importance of the lunch break
Rios is a man who strongly believes in enjoying the best that life has to offer. He wants to encourage others that it's okay to enjoy life, that it's okay to take time off from the rat race, and that it's okay to indulge a little. Rios takes care not to advocate for decadence and debauchery, but deftly argues that life is too short to be miserable, so don't be afraid to live!
Rios says, "I firmly believe that whether you're 18 or 80, it's never too late to make the most of your life."
