Fifty-Seven Fridays
Myra Sack
This one is personal to me, as it was written by a dear friend about the short, but full and magical life of her beautiful daughter, Havi Lev.
There are no words for the experience I had reading this. Three hours and countless tears later, I felt Havi’s soul touching mine. Her journey broke me, uplifted me, challenged me, moved me, and undeniably changed me. This journey puts you at Myra’ side while she faces the impossible. Her words, so stunning and raw, bring beautiful Havi and her spirit to life with each turn of the page.
My perspective on life, on moments, and on gratitude, has been forever changed.

In Young Forever, Dr. Mark Hyman challenges us to reimagine our biology, health, and the process of aging.
