This inspirational guide by Ernie J. Zelinski (http://www.erniezelinski.com/Bio-and-Contact.html ) is about all those really important life lessons that virtually all of us have already learned - but for some mysterious reason – keep forgetting.

Adopting even one of these sometimes basic - sometimes profound - 101 concepts of living will help you experience a more meaningful, more relaxed lifestyle filled with happiness and fulfillment.

From The a Review in the "Philadelphia Bulletin"

Here's a book you can fall in love with just by reading the table of contents. It's entitled "101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting" by Ernie Zelinski. The table of contents listing those 101 things, plus a bonus of five more, is masterful, but so is each of the chapters expanding on each table of contents entry. If you are like most of us and have forgotten these lessons, I suspect you'll remember them after reading the book. I flipped over the book because each lesson struck me as important and because reading the explanatory chapter convinced me in a persuasive and entertaining way that the lesson was important. So first take a sample from the table of contents:

1. One true friend is worth more than 10,000 superficial ones.

2. Good deeds are seldom remembered; bad deeds are seldom forgotten.

3. The surest way to failure is trying to please everyone. Your past is always going to be the way it was – so stop trying to change it.

4. A walk or run in nature is the best medicine for many of your ailments.

5. The shortcut to being truly fit and trim is long-term rigorous action.

6. Compromising your integrity for money, power, or fame will come back to haunt you.

7. If the grass on the other side of the fence is greener, try watering your side.

8. No matter how successful you become, the size of your funeral will still depend on the weather.

9. Be happy while you are alive because you are a long time dead.

I don't know about you, but I think those lessons of life are not only central to a good life but are also well stated. This Zelinski guy knows how to write prose that has the potential to become those old proverbs everyone repeats.
