Cocreator of the children’s show Blue’s Clues, Santomero believes that life provides signs or clues that can assist anyone in finding purpose, success, and meaning. The author acknowledges that most adults often live day by day and become mired in mundane, joyless routines. She shares 20 life clues that stimulate recognizing the important aspects of life. Each chapter introduces a life clue such as pausing with intention, living in the moment, embracing new pursuits to enjoy, laughing every day, and being present. The author recommends that readers use this “bag of life clues” to nurture their inner child and find purpose in their life. She suggests activities usually associated with children, such as employing one’s imagination frequently, finding moments for playtime, cultivating routines, and just being fun as important life clues that more adults should embrace. Santomero presents valuable ideas such as creating an imagination/wish-fulfillment list or establishing time to just do nothing and recharge. Each chapter also offers a bolded-word clue that forms an important message at the book’s conclusion.
VERDICT This book provides meaningful advice in an engaging style. It succeeds in conveying an important message of seeing substance in life’s little things.
