All i really need to know i le: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things - Brossura

Robert Fulghum was born in 1937 in Waco, Texas. He has several academic degrees, worked as a singing cowboy in guest ranches in Texas, Colorado and Montana, and rode in local rodeos. For twenty years, he was an ordained parish minister at Seattle’s Edmonds Unitarian Church, where he is now minister emeritus. Fulghum has travelled twice around the world, living in Thailand, Greece, Japan (in a Buddhist monastery) and France. He now lives on a houseboat in Seattle and spends his time sailing.

When asked what he does, Robert Fulghum usually replies that he is a philosopher, and explains that what he likes to do is to think about everyday things and then to express what he thinks by writing, speaking or painting.
'All I Really Need To Know' is a collection of his favourite observations, written over the years, that reveal simple truths about small lives with big meanings. Like the things he learned in the sandpit at Sunday School: share everything; play fair; don't hit people; put things back where you found them; clean up your own mess; say you're sorry when you hurt somebody, and so on.
His uncommon thoughts on common things hold true, clear and firm however complicated or sophisticated the situation – and they are bound to raise the spirits and to warm the heart.

A number one best-seller in the United States, 'All I Really Need To know' has established itself as a modern classic. Written with wit and insight that is striking in its freshness and simplicity, it cannot fail to move everyone who reads it – leaving them wiser, gentler and feeling good.

"A treasure box."
