As the Frankfurter Buchmesse celebrates its anniversary for another year of serving the industry, Citi of Books did not miss the chance to join the 76th Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurt Buchmesse) in Frankfurt, Germany. This spectacular gathering honors fascinating works and their creators.
With a series of activities prepared, one of the most anticipated this year is the chosen country to be the guest of honor, which is Italy. The country will present not just its diverse, unique qualities as an attractive place to travel but also as a country with a rich literary tradition.
Citi of Books is excited to present books written by our distinguished authors. In our assigned booth, a range of books—from fiction to nonfiction—would be on exhibit. A book included in the gallery was “Life IS a Game: Life Lessons Learned Living The Rules for Being Human” by Chérie Carter-Scott.
Many yearn for a perfect life, with little to no stress, with total enduring health, loving relationships, opportunities, success, and unlimited happiness. Unfortunately, there aren’t many lessons to be learned from perfection. Lessons occur from overcoming adversity and from dealing effectively with disappointment, hurt, loss, trauma, and even tragedy.
In “Life IS a Game,” the author presents a compelling narrative that delves into the anatomy of a life from the inside out. Throughout the book, there are the rules: Ten Rules for Being Human, which resonated with readers in 40 languages. Carter-Scott returns twenty-five years later to share her life story through the lens of these ten transformative rules.
This memoir explores the challenges, breakdowns, breakthroughs, and victories that have shaped her journey, offering a tapestry of exhilarating and poignant stories along the way. Through a series of vignettes, she provides invaluable guidance for overcoming adversity and reframing life’s circumstances, encouraging readers to recognize the inherent value in their challenges.
“Life IS a Game: Life Lessons Learned Living The Rules for Being Human” is a touching, inspiring, and deeply relatable story, illuminating a wealth of life experiences while spotlighting the lessons learned throughout the author’s journey. Readers have praised the book as a fantastic complement to her earlier work, appreciating its straightforward and accessible style. Ultimately, this book invites readers to view life through a lens of enlightenment, empowering them to embrace their own paths with newfound perspective.
