Millman speaks eloquently about his  reasons for the title. I've learned that the quality of each moment  depends not on what we get from it, but what we bring to it. I treat no  moment as ordinary no matter how mundane or routine it appears.No Ordinary Moments is a carefully designed travelogue that puts you in  the drivers seat.
