All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten | Robert Fulghum
Twenty-five years ago, Robert Fulghum published a simple credoa credo that became the phenomenal #1 New York Times bestseller All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Now, seven million copies later, Fulghum returns to the book that was embraced around the world. He has written a new preface and twenty-five essays, which add even more potency to a common, though no less relevant, piece of wisdom: that the most basic aspects of life bear its most important opportunities. Here Fulghum engages us with musings on life, death, love, pain, joy, sorrow, and the best chicken-fried steak in the continental U.S.A. The little seed in the Styrofoam cup offers a reminder about our own mortality and the delicate nature of life . . . a spider who catches (and loses) a full-grown woman in its web one fine morning teaches us about surviving catastrophe . . . the love story of Jean-Francois Pilatre and his hot air balloon reminds us to be brave and unafraid to fly . . . life lessons hidden in the laundry pile . . . magical qualities found in a box of crayons . . . hide-and-seek vs. sardinesand how these games relate to the nature of God. All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten is brimming with the very stuff of life and the significance found in the smallest details. In the years that have passed since the first publication of this book that touched so many with its simple, profound wisdom, Robert Fulghum has had some time to ponder, to reevaluate, and to reconsider. And here are those fresh thoughts on classic topics, right alongside the wonderful new essays. Perhaps in todays chaotic, more challenging world, these essays on life will resonate even deeperas readers discover how universal insights can be found in ordinary events. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Love Robert Fulghum-inhaled all his books a few years back and have a few on my shelf at home. Time for a reread, I think!

“Through every kind of disaster and setback and catastrophe. We are survivors. And we teach our kids about that.” Robert Fulghum

Who remembers this? This is the most famous part, of course, but the entire book is just lovely. Thank you, Mr. Fulghum - these rules still apply. ❤️❤️❤️

Oh Robert, how you speak to me as if teaching me all of life's lessons in less of a Dad way and more of a cool Uncle way.

Powerful insight and a philosophy to live by, Fulghum helps you see the most basic meanings of life through essays that will leave going, "Yaaaaas! ME TOO! Holy fuck nugget!"

First book I read this year, after a tumultuous shift in my job. Finished this in January, focusing on how to start again and realizing I have all the lessons I learned since I was little.

Some 30 years ago, the existence of Mermaids was proven. The evidence can be found inserted in a treasure trove of everyday wisdom.
