<b>Essays on life that will resonate deeply as readers discover how universal insights can be found in ordinary events.</b><br><br>More than thirty years ago, Robert Fulghum published a simple credo—a credo that became the phenomenal #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten</i>. Today, after being embraced around the world and selling more than seven million copies, Fulghum’s book retains the potency of a common though no less relevant piece of wisdom: that the most basic aspects of life bear its most important opportunities.<br><br> Here Fulghum engages us with musings on life, death, love, pain, joy, sorrow, and the best chicken-fried steak in the continental United States. 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. sardines—and how these games relate to the nature of God. <i>All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten</i> is brimming with the very stuff of life and the significance found in the smallest details.<br><br> In the editions since the first publication of this book, Robert Fulghum has had some time to ponder, to reevaluate, and to reconsider, adding fresh thoughts on classic topics including a short new introduction.<br><br> <b>Praise for <i>All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten</i></b><br><br> “A healthy antidote to the horrors that pummel us in this dicey age.”<b>—Baltimore<i> Sun</i></b><br><br> “Within simplicity lies the sublime.”<b>—<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></b><br><br> “It is interesting how much of it applies not only to individuals, grown or small, but even to nations.”<b>—New York <i>Daily News</i></b><br><br> “As universal as fresh air and invigorating as the fragrance of a Douglas fir.”<b>—<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b>
