El libro de las buenas costumbres: Maneras sencillas y creativas para disfrutar de la vida

by Dirk Mathison

Este libro combina con ingenio, humor, sátira y una gota de cinismo, sus propias recomendaciones sobre las buenas costumbres con las de toda una gama diversa de personajes, desde Confucio a Abraham Lincoln, desde James Brown a Groucho Marx. El libro de las buenas costumbres incluye cerca de 2.000 costumbres sencillas y creativas para la mente, la salud, la seguridad, el sexo, el amor, la amistad y la paternidad. En el alma de la obra anida la creencia de que si cambiamos nuestro comportamiento diario, también cambiarán nuestras vidas. Y es que, a través de nuestras costumbres y hábitos vamos dando vida a nuestras ideas y a nuestros ideales.

[Melissa Miller]

I found a large number of things to think about in this book. There were a large number of "good habits" that I already do, but there were also a good many that I want to start. I'm trying to do one new thing a week for a year and some of my ideas for that are coming from this book. I hope that my life will be much improved over the course of the year.

This book is good bathroom reading. It gives "creative ways to enrich your life" in everything from health, safety, and home to getting along with other people and your mind. Some suggestions are tongue-in-cheek and some are genuine. The book is peppered with quotes from wise and witty individuals as well. I'll keep it in my bathroom for guests to ponder.
