Several years ago, my brother gave me LIFE'S LITTLE
INSTRUCTION BOOK by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. . . . it contained
fatherly advice that the author gave to his son, Adam, before he
left for school . . . I loved it; so much so, in fact, that I gave a copy to my daughter before she began college.

Volume II came out sometime thereafter, but I've only managed
to track it down within the last few weeks . . . and am I glad
that I did . . . although none of the advice is particularly

earth-shattering, virtually all of it makes sense.

I found myself reading each idea once, then revisiting it
a second and sometimes even a third time as its wisdom
hit home . . . there were many memorable bits of advice;
to cite just a few:

Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it's the
only way to live life completely.
Create a little signal only your wife knows so that you can show her you love her across the room.
Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves
something, and has lost something.
Remember that just the moment you say, "I give up," someone else seeing the same situation is saying, "My, what a great opportunity."
When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
Don't marry a woman who picks at her food.
Never miss a chance to dance with your wife.
Ask yourself if you would feel comfortable giving your two best
friends a key to your house. If not, look for some new best friends.
Take the stairs when it's four flights of less.
When talking to your doctor, don't let him or her interrupt or end the session early. It's your body and your money. Stay until al your questions are answered to your satisfaction.

I bought this books once. It is a lovely design book with a hardcover and bookjacket. This is the second book which was revised and upgraded by J. Brown. The book bears the same tittle the first one did:"Life's little Instruction Book" , which was meant for his son in college. Somehow, it became a bestseller. Now he come up with more words of wisdom, he offer us volume 2. There are so much incouraging and practical sentences in the book which I found them tremendously helpful for anybody who are willing to practice them. I am sure you will want to read them everyday, if you want to be a better person. I gave my first one to a friend. She loved it. Now I feel I need to buy another copy for myself. I highly recommend this one to anybody. PS. They have another book tittle "The Complete life's little instruction book". I don't know if it is the combination of the two. If it is, I think you should order it instead of this one. One more thing, this version is the nicest lookin one I found in store. Don't go for the paper back version although they are at half the price of this hardcover.

I found this book to be a wonderful little volume filled with thoughts and ideas that are designed to challenge us to a better, more fulfilling life. You can't help but recognize the wisdom and truth in these pages. If you were to only apply 1/8th of this book to your life, you would find yourself to be one of the happiest and most fulfilled people you know. I guarantee it.

After visiting my boyfriend this past weekend, I seen this book. As I started to read it, I could not put it down. It is a great insperation when you need a quick pick me up when you are in a "different" mood or confronted by a situation. I am getting a book of my own.

The wonders of Carolyn Brown's romances never cease. She continues to create love stories that last in the readers' minds. "Lily's White Lace" does just that. Be sure to read her other Avalon Books romances and historical romances.

Imagine finding out before you say I do that your husband to be has been cheating on you. What a terrible feeling. But what do you do? If you're smart like Lily, you would leave him standing at the altar. But shedding tissue and tissue over leaving someone that you did love and trust isn't an easy thing. And never trusting a man again is even harder, especially when a fine man like Jesse comes along. In the end, stubborness does find a way out the window and Lily finds herself falling for Jesse, as he does with her. They know that they were meant to be together. And true love finds a way to bring them together always. This is a superb book and deserves a ten stars plus. Lily's White Lace is a book that brings love into any home. You will love this book from the beginning to the end. A ten stars plus for any reader. You will be touched by the wonderfully written story as you turn page after page. Great book!!!

If your're looking to boost the tips you bring in, this book has the info you need. Great reading for the server who has a passion for the business, but just doesn't seem to make as much as the other guy. Great review for you veterans as well. I am a restaurant manager for a large corporation and I often hand out my copy when frustrations over tips arise. Great source of info for shift meetings and training classes as well. This book is a must!

This book is a must for every food and beverage professional. Bob Brown teaches you how to turn a little extra effort into a lot of cash. You'll put in the same amount of hours but increase the size of your earnings and the revenue of the restaurant as a whole. Everyone including the customer goes home happy.

H. Jackson Brown's work is a masterpiece!

To read his books simply makes you think and puts a smile on your face.

Thank you Mr. Brown.

this is a really awesome book! it has the cutest sayings about life and the ideal book to read when you're having a bad day or just need a lift. most of the sayings are true and from people of all ages, which is why it caught my attention. i had originally got this book browsing in a library on my college's campus and checked it out, not knowing what to expect. it has sayings in it like "if you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got" by a 51 year old; and that "even though its hard to admit, i'm secretly glad when my parents are strict with me" by a 15 year old, and that "a mule dressed in a tuxedo is still a mule" by a 70 year old and that "being a success at the office is not worth it if it means being a failure at home" by a 51 year old. after reading these passages, i'm positive that the average reader can look through the passages and find a lot that can and does relate to his or her life.

I couldn't put it down because of the adventures,Arthur and Francine had.

I am a second grader. I think this is a very good book to read for a kid my age. It is a very exciting and funny book. I think it is the best "Arthur" chapter book I have ever read. I think you should read it.

Brown knows the west and fits great detail of cowboying into a surprisingly deep story. The characters are rich and the narative clear and well done.

Brown knows cowboys, its obvious. This is a good quick reading, surprisingly deep and thoughtful western with plenty of action.

This is a must have for anyone who loves Goodnight Moon. This is a WONDERFUL collection of Margaret's work. Several of the poems and stories are published here for the first time. All are just as gentle and kid-friendly as the famous Goodnight Moon.

Love Songs Of The Little Bear presents four new poems by Brown, illustrated with lovely gouache paintings by Jeffers. Simple interactions between a young bear and the seasons blends with a warm family setting in this gentle series of encounters suitable for the very young.

Loving Yourself First captures everything a person needs to know and to be to live a happy, healthy, successful life. It promotes self-healing, self- renewal and self-love. There are exercises at the end of each chapter to help engage the reader in a self-discovery process. The book helps readers disign a bule print for their personal lives. There is humor, drama, excitement and lots of common sense information. If we use it we can't help but get better. This is a book that will not draw dust from sitting on the shelf. it is written to be used over and over again.

This book really hits home for woman of all ages. The author has done her homework and it reflects in the rich knowledge and expertise she shares with her readers. Loving Yourself First, crosses cultural and socio-economic backgrounds gracefully as the resounding message rings home to every woman--love yourself first!!

like a treasured flower, everything ms. brown writes will be remembered. this book was a pleasure.

My fascination for Ancient Greek and Roman mythology was enriched by Maiden Speech which, besides being a thoroughly witty collection encompassing love and loss, also provides curious and unique portraits of such characters as Leda, one of Zeus' many conquests, and Penelope, the long-suffering and patient wife of Ulysses. Compelling, food for thought and utterly enjoyable. Ms.Brown is an imaginative genius, this collection will be taught and celebrated in schools in years to come.
