This Is What Life's About

Life improvises, and we improvise with it.

Don’t rush. Life is long and beautiful. It is an adventure in which you must learn from every experience. Life is choice and change, it is giving yourself permission to feel, it is self-criticism and learning. And it is living many lives in one.

In this book, Lucía Galán Bertrand, the famous pediatrician who has enjoyed great success sharing her daily life, now reveals to us her most personal experiences, her private life after she takes off her doctor’s smock. You will see her as an imperfect mother, as a veteran pediatrician, as an enthusiastic partner and as a successful woman: reflections addressed to her readers, up close, personal and with the sensitivity that characterizes her. Lucia aims straight for the heart.

To fathers and mothers of teenagers, to parents who have had a baby and haven’t slept for months, to girls who have had their first period, to mothers of mothers, to the traveling companion, to life, to death, to the enterprising woman and to those who do not give up. This book is addressed to all of them.
