All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

Brilliance Revisited

I have purchased, read, and re-read all of R. Fulghum's works. He is my favorite author. So much so that I regularly give his books out as gifts¿so as to share the joy of life¿s journey. I was very happy to discover this 15th anniversary edition book right after it was released. It is brilliance revisited. Fulghum takes his 'Kindergarten' essays and critically examines and reconstructs them according to his perceptions 15 years later. This results in some new insight into old essays, as well as some entirely new essays. This really is a must read for anyone who enjoys the cognitive travels of life.

Simple and Powerful

This book gives new meaning to the 'less is more' theory...Mr. Fulghum finds wisdom in the most subtle and unassuming situations...and his ability to tell and share is so powerful...

A Quick Read of Insightful Things

Robert Fulghum reminds me of Dave Barry in the fact that he has dry humor. I love the fact that he takes ordinary everyday things and turns it into something philosophical. He is a genius, but I do not wish to be preached at, and this book was slightly preachy.

All I really need to know I learned by reading this book:

I thought that Robert Fulgham's bits and pieces about things that he went through on a day to day basis were fun and fascinating to read. I really enjoyed just random thoughts that he came up with, some funny and light hearted and others fairly sad, but things that we could relate too. One of my faovrite thoughts of his was when he was talking about how his job in the family is to do the laundry and how it gives him a sense of accomplishment once his chore has been completed. It was funny as is, but then he said that he uses the laundry detergent Cheer so his laundry will be happy. That statement was in the beginning of the book and made me want to keep reading becuase I loved his attitude towards life. This book is a fun and easy read and can be read in bits or pieces because it is like a journal, or all at once because you really want to know what other experiences he has to share!

Just two more comments

These two thoughts are the additional recommendations to be added in the Kindergarten essay. 1. Smile. (this is an unversal action language as a medicine for ourselves and us all around. We all are just a smile away each other. Smile can break the walls (of worries, prejudices, etc.) around us and connect us all (and back to living). 2. Say 'Thank you'. (This is also an unversal language that can break the walls around us and connect us all in appreciation.)
