Review
Life's Lessons from Mayberry is a charming and sometimes even heart-tugging little collection of timeless truths inspired by the classic sitcom, The Andy Griffith Show. Week after week, year after year, and still today in re-runs, the show teaches a singular message - do the right thing. That, along with a cadre of unforgettable characters like Andy, Barney, Opie, Aunt Bee, Floyd, Goober and Gomer (who were brought to life by a very talented and somewhat underrated cast), helped form America's image of the perfect small town - Mayberry, North Carolina. That fictional village became synonymous with everyday life in a place where people were hard working, decent and honest, and genuinely concerned about their neighbors, however goofy they might be. This new book from Andy Griffith Show fans John and Len Oszustowicz, who also wrote Barney Fife's Guide to Life, Love and Self-Defense, is a treasure trove of simple messages, golden rules and valuable lessons gleaned from many of the Andy Griffith Show's best-loved episodes. A few examples: "Give children a chance... they'll teach grown-ups a lot about character. - When Opie found a wallet full of money, he gave it back to its owner; Andy, once again, had underestimated the boy." "Overestimating yourself is the quickest way to humility. -Andy thought he was the cat's meow, but he soon learned otherwise when he was outdone at the shooting range...by a woman." "A person doesn't necessarily need to be efficient to be effective. -When Wally fired Gomer for doodling on the job, he realized that it was Gomer's humor and friendliness that made the business a success, not his efficiency." Baby boomers and their parents with whom they often watched the show for many years on Monday nights will particularly enjoy these reminders about basic principles and the importance of kindness inspired by this important piece of American pop culture. -- From Independent Publisher
