A collection of advice on how to live a happy and rewarding life.

When life becomes complicated, it’s time to get back to the basics. Originally written by Jack Brown as a going-away-to-college gift for his son Adam, Life’s Little Instruction Book: Simple Wisdom and a Little Humor for Living a Happy and Rewarding Life offers hundreds of captivating insights, uplifting inspiration, heartfelt humor, and thoughtful reminders. The Life’s Little Instruction Book series has sold more than ten million copies, spent more than two years atop the New York Times bestseller list, and has been translated into 33 languages—a true example of a giftable book that keeps on giving. Giving people of all generations permission to live a well-loved life, readers will delight in the sweet simplicity of entries that inspire them to: Sing in the shower. Watch a sunrise at least once a year. Drink champagne for no reason at all. Ask for a raise when you feel you’ve earned it. Buy great books even if you never read them. Whether you’re seeking something special for yourself, or looking for that perfect, thoughtful gift, this beloved book makes an excellent gift for all occasions—including graduations, weddings, holidays, birthdays, and for those “just because” moments. A timeless classic, the #1 New York Times bestseller offers every generation simple yet powerful wisdom.

Originally written as a gift from a father to a son, the book's simple message--to be understanding, thoughtful, and appreciative--has been enjoyed by men and women of all ages. This edition with all three volumes has been redesigned for a new generation.

Teaming up with leading experts in the field, Brown provides a "pulse-quickening collection" for incurable romantics in the popular "Life's Little Instruction Book*" format.

Just to see how it feels, for the next twenty-four hours refrain from criticizing anybody or anything. You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. (Romans 14:10) Overtip breakfast waitresses. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. (Proverbs 11:25) Be enthusiastic about the success of others. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. (I Corinthians 12:26) Life's Little Instruction BookTM revolutionized book publishing when it was first published with "511 suggestions, observations, and reminders on how to live a happy and rewarding life." It remained on the New York Times bestseller list for two years, sold more than ten million copies, and was translated into thirty languages. H. Jackson Brown, Jr. and his wife, Rosemary, became convinced that one of the reasons for the enduring popularity of the three volumes of Life's Little Instruction BookTM was that many of its observations and reminders repeated in fresh, new language the timeless wisdom of the Bible. They searched the Scriptures and found biblical passages that corresponded to or complemented 300 entries in the three volumes of Life's Little Instruction BookTM. The combination of ancient wisdom with contemporary expression serves to instruct, inspire, and enlighten in a compelling way.

A few years ago, Jack Brown jotted down a list of fatherly advice for his son as Adam left home to begin a new life as a college freshman. That list became Life's Little Instruction Book, the phenomenal guide that has sold more than five million copies. Now Brown offers a second list, and Adam says "It's more useful than the first one".

"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much," said Bessie Anderson Stanley. This book is a collection of observations about success that the author first shared with his son in the first two volumes of Life's Little Instruction Book. It also includes thought-provoking and inspiring quotes from other sources.
