Book Description
Think about the world’s happiest, most contented, most fulfilled people...
How’d they get that way?
Is it their genes? No. Money? Absolutely not.
It’s about the small choices they make, every day.
Things you can do. Things you can change.
It’s about what they know and you can learn:
The Rules of Life.
Here they are:
100 personal, practical rules for dreaming, planning, living, loving, and overcoming even life’s toughest adversities...
For knowing what matters... learning from experience...using your intuition... changing what you can...de-stressing... staying younger... getting stronger.
Read ’em. Learn ’em. Live ’em.
You’ll feel better. You’ll live better.
You’ll be a better friend, partner, parent, child, human being.
You’ll do it: one small, simple step at a time.
One step a day, every day. Starting today.
The most important part of being happy is being happy with yourself. This chapter provides eight simple rules that you can follow to enrich yourself and your personal satisfaction. These rules focus on things you can do to improve yourself.
I've divided the Rules of Life into five areas—you, your partner, your family, your social circle (including work and friends) and lastly, the world—to represent the five unconscious circles we all draw around ourselves.
Let's begin with the most important of these, the Rules for ourselves—personal rules, rules for us. These are the Rules that will help get us out of bed in the mornings, face the world with a positive air, and navigate our way safely and successfully through our day, no matter what may arise. These are the Rules that will help reduce stress levels, give us the right kind of outlook, encourage us to set our own standards and have goals to aim for.
I guess that for each and every one of us, these Rules will have to be adapted to take into account our upbringing, our age, and our situation. We all need to have personal standards to live up to. They will vary from person to person, but it is vitally important to have them. Without them, we are adrift and unable to monitor how we are doing. With them we have a firm center, somewhere we can get back to, somewhere to touch base and recharge. They are our benchmark for personal progress.
But it's not all about standards; it's also about lightening up, having fun, enjoying life.
