Excellent Advice For Living: Wisdom I Wish I'd Known Earlier

Product Information

The path to a better life won’t always be easy, but you can dodge some of the common pitfalls by absorbing a few bits of wisdom along the way.

Kevin Kelly tells you right away he isn't reinventing the wheel and much, if not all, of this advice came to him from other sources, but just like him, it's on us to put it into practice and meditate on it. Also, I read in a few days, but a book like this works better as a page a day (or few pages a day) book to let the advice sink in.He has wisdom for career, relationships, parenting, andfinances, and gives guidance for practicalmatters ranging from travel to troubleshooting. I rarely take advice though so, even if I had this as a young adult, I’d probably still make the same mistakes.

For example, no matter how careful you are, the clothes you are wearing when you paint will get paint on them, is one piece of advice. That is precisely what Kevin Kelly gathers in Excellent Advice for Living: Wisdom I Wish I’d Known Earlier ( public library) — an herbarium of learnings that began as a list he composed on his 68th birthday for his own young-adult children, a list to which he kept adding with each lived year.In 100 years a lot of what we take to be true now will be proved to be wrong, maybe even embarrassingly wrong. You will thrive more — and so will others — when you promote what you love rather than bash what you hate. Kevin’s advice is so practical and so easy to remember, that I find myself incorporating the wisdom of his book into my daily life -and it works! While today’s world frequently feels chaotic and confusing, there are simple truths that can help cut through the clutter and complexity. A powerful collection of succinct teachings that offers insight into technology, leadership, family dinners, and everything in between.
