We all know the feeling: In the game of life, why am I the only one who doesn't know how to play? But help is now on hand, because this wonderful program of gentle guidance will teach you the rules of life so that its challenges and unpredictable ups and downs are easier to handle. Ms. Carter-Scott originally wrote the "Ten Rules for Being Human" as a handout for a workshop she was teaching. They resonated with thousands of people and were photocopied, passed around, stuck on refrigerator doors across the country, and were eventually published in the phenomenal best seller Chicken Soup for the Soul. The rules contain basic truths that when understood and embraced, can bring about changes that contribute to a more fulfilling, more satisfying, and less stressful life. Rather than looking at a series of problems to tackle, the rules show us that life is full of opportunities, and that there are no mistakes - only lessons to be learned. They give us inspiring instruction on self-esteem, respect, acceptance, forgiveness, ethics, compassion, humility, gratitude, courage, and more. Best of all, they show that wisdom lies inside each one of us, and that by playing by these rules we can create more meaningful lives for ourselves.
