Adopting even one of these sometimes basic -- sometimes profound -- 101 concepts of living will help you experience a more meaningful, more relaxed lifestyle filled with happiness and fulfillment. What You Will Discover -- or Rediscover -- by Reading This Book * Too much safety is dangerous for your well-being. * Predict your failures and you will become a highly successful prophet. * Don't buy expensive socks if you can never find them. * Nice people are often not good people and good people are often not nice people. * It's always easier to stay out of trouble than to get out of trouble. * Being right at all costs is like being a dead hero -- there is no payoff! * Good deeds are seldom remembered; bad deeds are seldom forgotten. * To double your success rate, just double your failure rate. * Ten million dollars cannot buy what great friendship can. * If the grass on the other side of the fence is greener, try watering your side. Above all, 101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting presents commonsense advice to help you live a happier, healthier, and wealthier life! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The best book I have ever read............101 Important Things You Already Knew But Keep Forgetting is one of the best inspirational books I have ever read.

He doesn't do this for every essay but is closer than some of his other books. ... Read More Rating: - Ernie does it againI'm a big fan of Ernie Zelinsky's work. I especially liked How To Retire Happy, Wild and Free and Real Success Without a Real Job. His strength is not in creating wild new ideas but in reminding us about the simple things in life and how enjoy and treasure them here and now. In his new book, 101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting, he does it again. It tells you right in the title you already know these things, but he has a simple, homespun style that is engaging and really ... Read More |
