All you really need to know is that the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, has done it again. Listing contradictory notions, such as "Look before you leap. He who hesitates is lost". and "Nothing ventured nothing gained. Better safe than sorry". and so on. THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. I once began a list of the contradictory notions I hold:Look before you leap.He who hesitates is lost.Two heads are better than one.If you want something done right, do it yourself.Nothing ventured, nothing gained.Better safe than sorry.Out of sight, out of mind.Absence makes the heart grow fonder.You can't tell a book by its cover.Clothes make the man.Many hands make light work.Too many cooks spoil the broth.You can't teach an old dog new tricks.It's never too late to learn.Never sweat the small stuff.God is in the details.And so on. The list goes on forever. Once I got so caught up in this kind of thinking that I wore two buttons on my smock when I was teaching art. One said, "Trust me, I'm a teacher." The other replied, "Question Authority."
Industry reviews
"Mix Kurt Vonnegut Jr. with Paul Harvey and you get Robert Fulghum: Vonnegut for his punchy, repetitive, ironic style and Harvey for his parables of ordinary life. Fulghum here meditates on ambivalence.... [He] lifts this kind of story into the realm of rapture." Updike
"The author's missionary spirit glows even brighter in his fourth book than its bestselling predecessors." Updike
"With his gentle humor and universal message, Fulghum MAY even inspire readers who don't usually go looking for inspiration." Updike
