Have you ever wished you'd saved all the good advice you've received for the times you needed it most? In this brand-new collection from the pages of O, The Oprah Magazine, 93 contributors reveal what they know for sure about finding lasting happiness, making meaningful connections, getting through tough times in one piece, and giving a little something back to our communities and our world.
