Making Life Worth While is a self-help book written by Douglas Fairbanks, American actor and producer, known as The First King of Hollywood. His formula for happiness is simple: humbleness, healthy humor, and physical culture, while his basic message echoes throughout the book: energy and optimism. Nearly everything has to do with such a subject and that is what the book contains—everything in general—and nothing in particular—just such things as came to mind that seemed worthwhile.
