Excellent Advice For Living: Wisdom I Wish I'd Known Earlier

Product Information

But, I’m not a professor, philosopher, psychologist, sociologist, anthropologist, scientist, mystic, or guru. the entries are genuinely thought-provoking, and Kelly’s earnestness is leavened with refreshing humor.

I had this shelved in “abandoned” for a while but decided to circle back to it and finish the thang. Trust the 3-star product reviews because they tell both the good and the bad, which is the real state for most things.Kevin Kelly of Wired Magazine, Whole Earth Review - and many other a fame - has gathered a set insights and principles to live by. Instead, he offers straightforward advice on a wide range of topics, from career choices to relationships and personal development. I’m an interconnector across all those humans and many more—an "independent, inquiring, interdisciplinary integrator" (in other words, it's just me over here, asking questions, crossing disciplines, and making connections). The newfound appreciation this can generate for your own backyard is just as valuable as any exotic introduction.

Kevin Kelly is a fascinating person and has accumulated truly helpful and actionable pieces of advice in this short book. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. A few explicit statements framed as “Our family has a rule for XYZ” can be worth their weight in gold.Kelly encourages us all to stay curious and embrace new experiences, which is a refreshing reminder in a world that often prioritizes routine and comfort over growth. Your flavor of childhood “weird” won’t be the ultimate answer, but it can certainly point you in the right direction. But rather than dictate how to apply the wisdom presented, Kelly invites you to expand on each bit to fit your life and experience. Even reading only a few pages at a time will surely give you some new insights and inspiration to live a meaningful life. On those rare occasions your child comes to you wondering what they should do, put your own preferences on hold and first ask what they want.
