Writer Judith Valente, based in central Illinois, makes the argument that Americans would do well to emulate some of the best traits shared by many people in Italy, who live their lives with what she calls an “everyday contemplative” mindset.
All this and more is the subject of her new book called “The Italian Soul: How to Savor the Full Joys of Life.” It offers lessons from a culture that’s mastered the art of savoring simple pleasures while maintaining deep connections in family and community. Valente joins the program today.
