What is Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness about?
"When last we met, George Bush had just been inaugurated president, Ronald Reagan was waving goodbye to Washington in a helicopter flyby and I had just come back to New York, where I finished a book about being a speechwriter for both. Ultimately my son and I ensconced ourselves in the top of a house in one of Manhattan's old brownstone neighborhoods, where I set up shop as a writer. "Because of...the facts of my life, I know and have dealings with many people, and am invited to visit their circles, their rings. It is a various world. "This is in part about that world. It is not a book about big events, but about the day-to-day of thinking and living in a particular era. It is not so much about politics as about life viewed from an inescapably political perspective. And if there is any revolution in it, it is one that is happening within me.". Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness begins with particulars. Life is in the details: rediscovering home after a five-year absence; learning where parenthood intersects - and sometimes clashes - with modern culture; measuring the distance between the old and the new America; deciding what one's values are and working out how to live by
