I've been in this life for 50 years, been trying to work out its riddle for 42, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last 35. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me.

"Sono in questa vita da cinquant'anni, ne scruto l'enigma da quarantadue, e da trentacinque tengo un diario pieno di idee su come risolverlo. Appunti su successi e fallimenti, gioie e dolori, cose che mi hanno stupito o che mi hanno fatto ridere di cuore. Appunti su come essere sereno. Come stressarmi di meno. Come godermela. Come fare meno male agli altri. Come fare meno male a me stesso. Come diventare un brav'uomo. Come dare un significato alla mia vita. Come essere più io."
