A New York Times-bestselling author looks for the meaning of a good life by seeking advice from the very young and the very old.

When his first book tour ended, Brad Montague missed hearing other people's stories so much that he launched what he dubbed a Listening Tour. First visiting elementary schools and later also nursing homes and retirement communities, he hoped to glean new wisdom as to how he might become a better grownup. Now, in this playful and buoyant book, he shares those insights with rest of us --timeless, often surprising lessons that bypass the head we're always stuck in, and go straight to the heart we sometimes forget.

Each of the book's three sections begins with the illustrated story of "The Incredible Floating Girl." Brad weaves this story together with lessons of success, fear, regret, gratitude, love, happiness, and dreams to reveal the true reason we are here: to fly, and to help others fly.

Beautifully designed and featuring Montague's own whimsical 4-color illustrations that appeal to the kid in all of us, Becoming Better Grownups shares the purpose and meaning we can all discover merely by listening, and reveals that--in a world that seems increasingly childish--the secret to joy is in fact to become more childlike.

Only SPF 15. Best For Overcast Days or Less Exposure.
I love Coppertone Sport sunscreens because they stay on longer than many and don't drip painful lotion into my eyes when I sweat. This spray-on version is only SPF 15, so, as a fair person, I can use it in direct sun only for 30-60 minutes of exposure or if I'm outside during an overcast day when, yes, I can still burn. SPF blocks 93% of the sun's rays, which sounds like a lot until you consider that SPF 50 blocks 98% of the rays. Sprays like this are especially useful if I'm by myself and need to reach difficult places such as my back. For the rest of me, I spray my skin, then rub in for complete coverage. For my face and neck, I spray into my hands, then apply to those areas. You don't want to spray directly on your face when you can inhale it or get it in your eyes. If you don't have sun-sensitive skin or don't expect to be in direct sunlight for long, then this is a great option for easy application. Just make sure you apply enough of it and reapply throughout the day. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

Summer Essential at great price
Great deal ahead of the summer sun. Product was the perfect match for my golf trip. Felt like it held up even in the heat and sweaty environment.

Great sunburn protection for beach days
Style: Sunscreen Lotion 70 SPF, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sunscreen Lotion 70 SPF, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
If you burn easily like I do, this sunscreen is an absolute lifesaver. I used it during a full day out in the intense sun and beach heat, and it protected my skin perfectly—not a single spot of redness! What I love most is that it works beautifully for both the face and body. It applies smoothly, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave that heavy, suffocating white cast that a lot of high-SPF sunscreens do. It also handles sweat and water incredibly well without running into my eyes and stinging. It has a nice, subtle beachy scent that isn’t overpowering. This is officially my go-to sunscreen for outdoor activities!

Lightweight, Effective & Smells Great
Style: Sunscreen Lotion 70 SPF, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen works amazing! The Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 70 gives excellent sun protection without feeling too heavy or greasy on the skin. I really like that it doesn’t have a strong overpowering smell like many other sunscreens. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and feels comfortable for everyday wear or beach days. The water resistance is great and it protects well even during long hours outside. Perfect for the whole family and definitely worth buying again!
