Product Description

This inspirational 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 happiness and fulfillment.

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.
* 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 commonsense advice to help you live a happier, healthier, and wealthier life!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I have ever read............, December 23, 2007
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 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.

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.
