Rating: Summary: This Book Is Needed by People Now! Review: The 21st century --- what an exciting century! However, it is also a dangerous one! The rates of drug abuses, suicide, mental illnesses, crimes and so on, have tremendously increased for the last half century (small fluctuations are neglected). By a scientific measurement of people's minds, they have been going in the negative direction. If we do not act, in the 21st century human beings will have very bad consequence. Indeed, the human society in the new century will be very different than that now. Facing the new society, we really have the new challenge: What is good conduct in the 21st century? Hence, "Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century" by Dr. John Newton is definitely needed by people now. It not only helps solve some most important problems, but also helps people prepare appropriate conduct for the 21st century. Understandably, good conduct induces many benefits for each person. Dr. John Newton is the first scholar that scientifically discusses, in this book, the relation between conduct and health and points out good conduct may benefit health, based on his long-term research. This is one of many novel points of this book. The conduct principles in this book are complete, while other books of the same subject are not. They cover not only what a person should do but also what any one of us should not do --- especially about the faults people make frequently and easily and particularly in the 21st century. I agree with Dr. Newton, inspiredly, and wish to share my view with all people --- let's work together to build a nicer century!
Rating: Summary: Farsightedness demonstrated once again Review: The lesson of the recent SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) demonstrates once again Dr. John Newton's farsightedness. Yes, you should be "Careful about Your Habits of Cleanliness and Hygiene" (Principle No. 78 in the book). This is really a very important conduct principle for the twenty-first century.
Rating: Summary: A New and Right "Bible" for the 21st Century Review: The most important books on conduct in the Eastern culture, regarded as the "Bibles" of that culture, were created some millenniums ago. The situation of the Western culture is similar. Other books of this subject are for the 20th century or earlier, too. The human society of the 21st century will be tremendously different from that "now", needless to say "the past". What is good conduct in the 21st century? "Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century" is exactly the new and right book people need for preparing personal conduct for the new century. Unlike most books of this subject, it is not a religious book, nor is a collection of old conduct rules. It evidently results from Dr. John Newton's long-term research.
