Interesting, charming, and sometimes funny commentaries on life. His Unitarian beliefs show through at times, and are not always in agreement with an evangelical Christian world view. (

These short tidbits of knowledge may seem trite and trivial, but they can be useful never the less. Everyone can benefit from a reminder of the the basics now and then and this book distills complicated adult issues to a handful of basic truths, principles most of us learned in childhood. Probably over-simplistic, but worth a minute or two of time out once in a while.

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