Summary: Plato and Socrates aren't here
Review: Ugh. Drivel. The book's opening pages are humorous and even sensical. The remainder is less than thought provoking. Chapters are little life-stories that present a lesson in the end. Reading the life stories is much like watching you r neighbor's Nebraska vacation slide show. At least I can set the book down without appearing rude.

Summary: I wrote my college essay based on this!!!!!!!
Review: What a wonderful book! This is what life is all about, slowing down enough to laugh at it. My Grandma, Judy Sroka, was Fulghum's biggest advocate. I must have gotten it from her. It is amazing just how dead on he is about life and how to simply be happy!! That's the ultimate goal, isn't it? Happiness? His balanced life theory is quite an amazing way to get there! We know all of the things he writes, but we simply don't notice them or put them to good use. How silly of us! As for myself, I am in love with the afternoon nap with cookies and milk idea!!! I wrote my Whitman college application essay based on his balanced life theory, let's hope they like it!! For anyone who is in need of a little life help (as I was when I read this book), this is a must read! We make life much to complicated. Learn to slow down and take in the simple things, that is all Fulghum's saying. What a great message!!!

Summary: THE BEST
Review: Whenever I have a friend who's out of sorts,I give this book to them, for medicinal purposes. Robert Fulghum is the only author that I have reread. When I'm feeling low, his prose never fails to revive me. His simple, but astute, observations on everyday life always touch me. This book is a necessity for anyone's life
