Book Signing: Sanity Made Simple
April 25, 2026SANITY MADE SIMPLE: Aphorisms, Epigrams, and Other Parsed Phrases
The right few words in the proper order can express a “hydrogen bomb” of insight. Among the best examples are those brief expressions that pack wisdom, humor, and profundity: maxims, adages, proverbs, aphorisms, and epigrams.
Call them what you will. They point to the same thing: powerful sayings delivering a punch, such as: “Optimism is an 80 year old signing up for swimming lessons.” These short forms deliver truth, inspiration, and can comment ironically on a dire situation in a manner that lets you laugh.
Says author Dan Valenti: “I composed these sayings (240 of them) in Sanity Made Simple for you to enjoy and share, chuckle or ponder. I’m sure you’ll find value here.”
Available now at Amazon Books and all Barnes & Noble Booksellers.
Just $14.95 for the paperback … $4.95 for the ebook.
From pre-release reviews:
