LTLB 2 is a second volume of short essays from the author of Lyrics To Live By: Keys to Self-Help; Notes for a Better Life. This new collection goes deeper than before in exploring and interpreting a selection of lines taken from the lyrics of a variety of songs. There is much here to inspire and provoke further thought, as the author draws on his knowledge and wisdom in exploring the human condition. Definitely a worthy addition to any self-help collection.

'Lyrics To Live By': Keys to self-help - notes for a better life, comprises twelve short chapters, each taking 'stand alone' lines from the lyrics of mostly well-known songs as its subject. Clearly inspired by these song lyrics, the author shares his detailed and insightful explorations of the possible meanings and interpretations of the songs' words, and with an emphasis on finding messages which are both insightful and empowering. The author maintains a positive focus throughout, offering a fine balance of wisdom and good old common sense, and which is both inspiring and uplifting. The book is both short and 'layman friendly', factors which I trust will further enhance its appeal and success.
