About the Author:
This book began as a gift to my son, Adam. As he packed his stereo, typewriter, blue blazer, and other necessities for his new life as a college fresher, I retreated to the family room to jot down a few observations and words of counsel I thought he might find useful.
I started writing, and what I thought would take a few hours took several days. I gathered my collection of handwritten notes, typed them up, and put them in a file.
Well, somehow those typewritten pages became the little book you’re now holding. You may not agree with all the entries, and from your own life experience I’m sure you could add hundreds more. Obviously, some are more important than others, but all have added a degree of joy, meaning and efficiency to my life.
A few days after I had given Adam his copy, he called me from college. ‘Dad’, he said, ‘I’ve been reading the instruction book and I think it’s one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. I’m going to add to it and someday give it to my son.’
Every once in a while life hands you a moment so precious, so overwhelming you almost glow. I know. I just experienced one.
H. Jackson Brown Jr has published three volumes of Life’s Instructions. He lives in the USA.
