Read years ago that it was not the responsibility of parents to pave the road for their children, but to provide a road map. That’s how I hoped he or she would use these mind and heart reflections.

I was first given this little book by the CEO of our company. I have given it away and replaced it numerous times. It is worth rereading annually as it helps us to remember all the things we already know – like “Keep Secrets, Remember People’s Names, Don’t Expect Money to Bring You Happiness and Never Eat the Last Cookie”.
A real winner!
3 Stars Generally good except for one…
This is an entertaining enough book with a mix of cheesy sentiments, some cliches but overall good messages to live by,…except for No. 433: “Have a friend who owns a truck.” Seems a bit shallow and deceptive to befriend someone solely for times when you need to move or haul something away. Ever hear of U-Haul or Ryder?

My brother sent me an email supposedly repeating a mantra from the Dalai Lama. The email asked 4 questions of life. Your answers were supposed to reveal your true spiritual disposition about a number of things. In the email, was supposedly a link to the Dalai Lama’s thoughts about the Millenium. The list of “twenty thoughts” actually turned out to have been culled from a much larger list originally penned by H. Jackson Brown Jr. A little diligence brought me to the source of this wonderful knowledge..Brown’s “Complete Life’s Little Instruction Book”. I believe that Brown has distilled much of what is written in many books of wisdom down into one-liner tibits that are delightfully instructive. For me, they are a reminder to live my utmost for God’s highest. I have been looking for more spiritual planks for the human shipyard that I am building. Just by reading the many great reviews of this little book, I see much treasure that I can add to my shipyard’s cargo. I would reccomend this book to anyone who lives to benefit the lives of others. My first order is six copies to give as gifts (Nothing is really yours until you give it away). Priceless!!!

Life’s Little Instruction Book: 511 Suggestions, Observations, and Reminders on How to Live a Happy and Rewarding Life
This is a great book full of common sense homilies applicable to everyday life. If you have any children it is a must have for each and every one. It even appeals to adults to remind them of the lessons they learned from their parents and some times forget with the passage of time. Makes for a wonderful refresher on how to live the good life as well as how to interact with your fellow man. Highly recommended!
4 Stars Good things come in small packages!!
I ordered six of these as graduation presents for a group of high school students. Regardless of whether you are 17 or 70, though, this pithy collection of wisdom resonates and offers sound and inspiring insights for us all. The sayings range from Big Picture (”Don’t expect life to be fair ..”) to the micro (” Don’t leave your car keys in the ignition.”)
Not only a great and inexpensive gift book or stocking-stuffer, but a treat to dip into again and again!
