false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168572416m/34760.jpg 34760 21 Fifteen years ago, Robert Fulghum published a simple credo -- a credo that became the phenomenal #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten</i>. Now, seven million copies later, Fulghum returns to the book that was embraced around the world. He has written a new preface and twenty-five essays, which add even more potency to a common, though no less relevant, piece of wisdom: that the most basic aspects of life bear its most important opportunities. Here Fulghum engages us with musings on life, death, love, pain, joy, sorrow, and the best chicken-fried steak in the continental U.S.A. The little seed in the Styrofoam cup offers a reminder about our own mortality and the delicate nature of life . . . a spider who catches (and loses) a full-grown woman in its web one fine morning teaches us about surviving catastrophe . . . the love story of Jean-Francois Pilatre and his hot air balloon reminds us to be brave and unafraid to fly . . . life lessons hidden in the laundry pile . . . magical qualities found in a box of crayons . . . hide-and-seek vs. sardines, and how these games relate to the nature of God. <i>All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten </i>is brimming with the very stuff of life and the significance found in the smallest details. In the years that have passed since the first publication of this book that touched so many with its simple, profound wisdom, Robert Fulghum has had some time to ponder, to reevaluate, and to reconsider. And here are those fresh thoughts on classic topics, right alongside the wonderful new essays. Perhaps in today's chaotic, more challenging world, these essays on life will resonate even deeper, as readers discover how universal insights can be found in ordinary events. 2399046 1988 All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten total:2207|5:675|4:762|3:574|2:150|1:46| 2207 8491 2746 215 3 5 false false Thu Mar 20 11:54:42 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 11 06:47:41 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 3 false false Thu Aug 16 19:08:18 -0700 2007 Mon Nov 26 12:38:05 -0800 2007 1 1 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1988 Mon Jul 16 06:53:52 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 16 07:03:18 -0700 2007 I don't remember much about this book except the over all sense that the author was pretty pleased with himself.

This book is full of life-affirming essays that get to the heart of what it means to be human. There's nothing polly-anna about the collection. Fulghum is terrific.
