Andover Native's New Book Shows How to Have More Fun

"Questions are what life is about. Magical things come from questions."

An Andover native has written a book of all questions that intends to showreaders new ways of enjoying their lives more, by asking them.

In Have Fun, author Gregory C. Buia takes a new and unique approach to showing the reader how to have more fun. He doesn’t tell the reader, he asks. This book poses simple and entertaining universal questions, never going too long without a whimsical twist. The reader will discover that they already know more than they think about kindness, awareness, and what’s beyond. More importantly, it will also provide countless specific ways to get more creative about enjoying life.

“I wanted to write a book that people could have fun reading and find something in that they could use to have more fun when they weren’t reading it,” Buia said in a news release.. “A lot of people ask me why I write only questions. A long time ago I wrote a book of answers. They were good answers, but I learned that questions are way more fun. Questions are what life is about. Magical things come from questions.”
