An anthology to know a person should live a fulfilling life, the short stories in each chapter are refreshing and amazingly simplistic. (

Short thoughtful and humorous essays about life, love and happiness from a former Unitarian minister.

I recently reread this book and found it as wonderful as I remembered. Fulghum is funny and smart and his remarks can be touching and endearing. I agree with so much of his philosophy of life and, like him, would treasure having one day, even one hour, of my childhood back. His memory of riding in a pickup truck with an elderly dog for company is priceless. (
