Dr. Paul F. MacVittie’s Memoir Will Be Displayed at the Book Confab LA and LA Times Festival of Books 2025

The self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet will display Dr. Paul F. MacVittie’s “Learn, Labor, Love, Laugh – Live: A Father’s Daily Thoughts To His Son” at two upcoming book events this April in California: the Book Confab LA on April 23-24, at Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City and the 2025 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books (LATFOB) on April 26-27, 2025, at the University of Southern California (USC) campus, Los Angeles.

At the Book Confab LA organized by ReadersMagnet, authors get the chance to showcase and read excerpts of their works in front of an engaged audience. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, one of the most important literary festivals in the country, brings together authors, publishers, and book lovers to celebrate the beauty of literature, art, and culture.

“Learn, Labor, Love, Laugh – Live” tells the experiences and challenges of Dr. MacVittie from childhood to profound fatherhood. When he was eight months old, Paul was kidnapped from his mother, whom he didn’t see again until he was age 19. He grew up without parental nurturing or direction, finding his connectedness through athletics, which became his ticket out of the inner city of Bridgeport, CT. When Mac was born, Paul chose to become the father he never had himself. When Mac went away to school, Paul sent him daily emails to encourage him to think clearly and to live with purpose and balance, thereby sustaining their relationship.

Dr. MacVittie’s “Learn, Labor, Love, Laugh – Live” records highlights from these emails, starting with Mac’s four years as a Cadet at the US Air Force Academy before returning ten years later, fulfilling his long-term goal of becoming an Air Officer Commanding one of the 40 squadrons at the Air Force Academy. Paul’s daily messages also coached Mac through his courtship, marriage, and becoming a father, forging his life journey through his choices. With its engaging tone and timeless insights, the book is an inspiring reminder of the enduring connection and positive influence parents can have with their children.

Dr. Paul F. MacVittie’s “Learn, Labor, Love, Laugh – Live: A Father’s Daily Thoughts To His Son” will inspire readers, especially parents and all those seeking purpose. Interested readers may get a copy of the book today on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and ReadersMagnet Bookstore.

Author Bio
Paul MacVittie was born in Buffalo, NY in 1937. In 1938, he was kidnapped from his mother and, after a couple of years, was dropped off at a nunnery in Detroit, MI. Eventually, he was returned to his paternal grandparents’ home in Buffalo. After his father remarried, Paul went to “live” with him in Bridgeport, CT, but found his “father figures” and “family” through athletic activities in the neighborhood and high school. He was offered an athletic scholarship to a “Prep School” in Milford, CT. From there he went to Gordon College, Gordon-Conwell grad school in Massachusetts, Fuller Grad School in Pasadena, CA and St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute in St. Louis, MO. His career spanned various professional disciplines, ranging from a college coach, inspirational speaker and teacher, business personnel executive to a psycho-dynamic psychotherapist - a life coach. Paul and his wife of over 40 years, Robbin, live in rural New Hampshire where he loves to read and observe wildlife in the forest and fields around their home.
