Book Description

September 25, 2009
This is an inspirational guide with 101 short life lessons that will help you live a happier, healthier, and wealthier life and will make your life more enjoyable day-by-day, year-by-year.

"101 Really Important Things You Already Know But Keep Forgetting" addresses many inspirational, spiritual, and motivational topics related to success, personal development, stress management, and health, body & mind.

This guide 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 achievement, successs, prosperity, happiness, and fulfillment.

As an Amazon reviewer said, "This book is better than therapy! There is not one page of this book that doesn't have meaning to everyone's personal life experiences."

Another Amazon reviewer claims that this book has the most down-to-earth advice that you will ever encounter in a book. "MANY of the ideas in here can't be found any where else, or at least explained the way they are here any where else. I'm a fan of logic, and this book starts out with an idea,then through simple logic and examples explains how that idea is true. However, some can be unpopular, but that doesn't stop Ernie. Such as 51: "It doesn't cost much to be kind, but it can be very costly being too kind."

What You Will Discover - or Rediscover - by Reading This Book
  • Too much safety is dangerous for your well-being.
  • Predict your failures and you will become a highly successful prophet.
  • Don't buy expensive socks if you can never find them.
  • Nice people are often not good people and good people are often not nice people.
  • It's always easier to stay out of trouble than to get out of trouble.
  • Being right at all costs is like being a dead hero - there is no payoff!
  • Good deeds are seldom remembered; bad deeds are seldom forgotten.
  • You don't have to watch one minute of TV to be happy - and perhaps you shouldn't
  • To double your success rate, just double your failure rate.
  • Ten million dollars cannot buy what great friendship can.
  • If the grass on the other side of the fence is greener, try watering your side.
Above all, "101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting" presents priceless advice that will help you live a happier, healthier, and wealthier life!

More About the Author

BIO FOR ERNIE ZELINSKI

Ernie J. Zelinski is an international best-selling author, innovator, professional speaker, and prosperity life coach specializing in creating inspirational life-changing books, websites, e-books, and seminars.

Ernie's core message -- that ordinary people can attain out-of-the-ordinary results and make a difference in this world -- is at the heart of his work.

Ernie deeply believes in the powers of creativity and well-intentioned action -- instead of hard work -- as the most important elements for how ordinary individuals can attain out-of-the-ordinary personal prosperity and financial freedom.

Ernie is the author of the international bestsellers "The Joy of Not Working" (over 250,000 copies sold) and "How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free" (over 150,000 copies sold), two life-changing books that have helped hundreds of thousands of individuals around the world achieve a more wholesome life.

Ernie has helped hundreds of thousands of individuals from all walks of life in their career transitions and in achieving a better work/life balance.

Ernie Zelinski's highly-acclaimed philosophy about life reaches over 150,000 individuals a month on his inspirational websites and blogs.

Thousands of individuals have contacted Ernie by phone, e-mail, and regular mail to let him know how they have experienced inner renewal and personal growth as a result of reading one or more of his blockbuster books.

Ernie has negotiated 107 book deals with publishers in 28 countries for his various creative works -- which have now sold over 700,000 copies worldwide.

Ernie is uniquely qualified to write books such as "How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free", given that he opted for semi-retirement when he was only thirty years old and close to financial bankruptcy (with a net worth of minus $30,000).

Yet today Ernie is an international best-selling writer, entrepreneur, and prosperity life coach who maintains a three- to four-hour workday and doesn't like to work at all in any month that doesn't have an "r" in its name.

Ernie lives in Edmonton, where, besides hanging around his favorite coffee shops with his laptop, he enjoys running, cycling, reading, and traveling. Ernie's second home is Vancouver, B.C., which he visits five or six times a year.

Ernie is single and will welcome a slender, creative, intelligent, entrepreneurial, youthful, and radiant woman into his life.

Ernie speaks on the topics of early retirement, entrepreneurship, and creativity. The Turkish Society for Quality recently spent over $20,000 to have Ernie speak about "The Joy of Not Working" to 2,000 executives and scholars attending its 17th annual convention in Istanbul.

Ernie is presently working on his inspirational novel "Look Ma, Life's Easy (How Ordinary People Attain Extraordinary Success, Financial Freedom, and Personal Freedom) and its companion "Life's Secret Handbook (Reminders for Adventurous Souls Who Want to Make a Big Difference in This World)". These two books will be published real soon both in print and ebook editions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ernie does it again, November 4, 2007
By 
W. Schroeder (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a big fan of Ernie Zelinsky's work. I especially liked How To Retire Happy, Wild and Free and Real Success Without a Real Job. His strength is not in creating wild new ideas but in reminding us about the simple things in life and how enjoy and treasure them here and now. In his new book, 101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting, he does it again. It tells you right in the title you already know these things, but he has a simple, homespun style that is engaging and really makes you think. With 101 chapters of two pages each it's not something you read in one sitting; I have my copy on the nightstand with other books and read a few chapters at a time when I feel like getting a lift. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I have ever read............, December 23, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
101 Important Things You Already Knew But Keep Forgetting is one of the best inspirational books I have ever read. I bought 4 copies of these books as presents for the people in my life. The stories are short(two pages) and tell life like it is. This book is better than therapy! There is not one page of this book that doesn't have meaning to everyone's personal life experiences.

4.0 out of 5 stars As a fan, I found this work OK but not among his best, November 24, 2007
By 
Michael Johnson (Livonia, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I share Ernie Zelinski's outlook on life. I love to hear about working less and more creatively. I agree with his advice to develop a life outside of work. I think The Joy of Not Working and Retire Wild, Happy, and Free are better examples of this attitude. This book has its moments but sounds more like a Get Rich or Become Successful self-help book. I thought he was catering more to the How to be a Millionaire crowd. He doesn't do this for every essay but is closer than some of his other books. I still give it 4 stars because I enjoy hearing whatever Ernie has to say.
