Fulghum has had an interesting life. He's been a minister, cowboy, salesman, teacher, writer, and amateur philosopher. This book is a continuation of the anecdotes and fables he so memorably presented us with in "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten." The vignettes are humorous and thought-provoking. In fact, I spent a lot of time staring off into space between them and trying to internalize what I had just read. I was afraid the writing would come off either syrup-y or preachy, but I was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this book to...anyone, really. ( )

I very much enjoyed reading this book because it proves that even the most random moments have a meaning to your life. As with his first book, anyone will enjoy reading this book; as long as they have an open mind. ( )

Epigraph
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge--

In his first phenomenal best-seller, EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN, Robert Fulghum reminded readers everywhere of some plain and still-true truths. Now, picking up where he left off, Fulghum turns our eyes to show-and-tell, weddings, his own ten commandments, and more insightful and unique observations on what our world is and was....
