Little grains of sand start the avalanche: Fairbanks returns with a second round of screen-star philosophy. As the twig is bent, feeding the intellect, the danger of half-baked knowledge, harnessing energy: chapter by chapter he argues that worthwhile living is built from small daily choices. Optimism with a movie star's momentum. Same grin as Laugh and Live, new material.
