The Most Important Thing I've Learned in Life

by Beau Bauman

High-school junior Bauman sent letters to more than 2,000 people, asking what they felt were the most important things one can learn in life. From the 350 replies he received, he has compiled a witty, inspiring collection of wisdom, featuring both serious and tongue-in-cheek responses from Dr. Joyce Brothers, Spike Lee, Barbara Bush, Tom Wolfe, Hulk Hogan, and many others.

[Anne Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an enjoyable book of quotes from famous and not so famous people, young and old, about what life means to them. Many quotes were meaningful and had the privilege of being written down in my journal to be read again.
