Join Best Ever You CEO and host, Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino for a special one-hour show with author Gabe Berman.  Gabe's new book "Live Like a Fruit Fly" is flying off the shelves, but is sure to have a long life! What does it mean to live like a fruit fly? Fruit flies are born, begin attending to their fruit-fly agendas, then succumb to old age before witnessing a single change of season. They don't waste time waiting for tomorrow. Likewise, we live and die in the virtual blink of an eye. Unfortunately, we often ignore our own mortality and simply coast through our days without ever checking out the bowl of fruit on the other side of the kitchen. The life we hoped for can wait for another day, we think. But another day often slips through our grasp, and we learn that we can't wait another day...that if we are to live consciously, we must learn to live like a fruit fly, not tomorrow but as this very moment, the one we are experiencing now. Gabe lives in Boca Raton, FL is also is a columnist for the Miami Herald.
