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. <p/> 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. <p/> 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. <p/> <b>Praise for <i>All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten</i></b> <p/> "A healthy antidote to the horrors that pummel us in this dicey age."<b>--Baltimore<i> Sun</i></b> <p/> "Within simplicity lies the sublime."<b>--<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></b> <p/> "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> <p/> "As universal as fresh air and invigorating as the fragrance of a Douglas fir."<b>--<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A HEALTHY ANTIDOTE TO THE HORRORS THAT PUMMEL US IN THIS DICEY AGE."<br>--Baltimore<i> Sun <p/></i>"It is interesting how much of it applies not only to individuals, grown or small, but even to nations."<br>--New York<i> Daily News <p/></i>"Within simplicity lies the sublime."<br>--<i>San Francisco Chronicle <p/></i>"As universal as fresh air and invigorating as the fragrance of a Douglas fir." <br><i>--Los Angeles Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert Fulghum</b> is a writer, philosopher, and public speaker, but he has also worked as a cowboy, a folksinger, an IBM salesman, a professional artist, a parish minister, a bartender, a teacher of drawing and painting, and a father. <i>All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten</i> has inspired numerous theater pieces that have captivated audiences across the country.
