Helpful or not, depends!,
This review is from: The Rules of Life: A Personal Code for Living a Better, Happier, More Successful Life (Paperback)
This book of 100 so called Rules of Life is divided into four sections:-Rule 1-50 Rules for you Rule 51-66 Partnership Rules Rule 67-92 Social Rules Rule 93-100 World Rules Section 1 is okay, so most of my favorite passages below are copied from it. However, the other sections are quite so so. Quoted from pg xiii, coincidentally my comment of this book, "What you will find is good old fashioned common sense. There is nothing here you dont already know. This book isnt a revelation. It's a reminder. It reminds you that the Rules of Life are universal, obvious, simple. Do them. They work." In short, if you are a regular reader of self help book, I doubt whether you will find it interesting. If not, please check some of my favorite "Rules" for your consideration as Amazon had not posted its content page. 10.

The author asks us to join the ranks of "...those that follow the rules everyday." These people, he says,"... choose to do certain things every day of [their] lives. Some things we do will make us unhappy and some things we choose to do will make us happier. By observing people, I have reasoned that if we follow a few basic `Rules of Life' we tend to... Read more

Great Book, By
This review is from: The Rules of Life: A Personal Code for Living a Better, Happier, More Successful Life (Paperback)
This book is fantastic!!! It helped me a lot in understanding what things are worth doing in life, how time should be spent, and how to treat myself and others. Most of the rules written in the book are of common sense, but since we tend to lose this valuable knowledge during adulthood, is good to be reminded of them.
