The rules of life

あなたはより多くの調和のとれた人生を生きるための実践的な指導を与える本です。

'The rules of life' is a book that gives you practical guidance to live a more harmonious life.

Richard Templar passes on his life experience regarding oneself, having a partner, friends and family, and the world, through a hundred practical 'rules'.

This is a book full of hands-on advice grown out of Templar's personal challenges and observation of life. Richard Templar doesn't pretend to be perfect; he simply gives you a few useful tools for life that he's picked on the way.

Think about the world’s happiest, most contented, most fulfilled people...

How’d they get that way?

Is it their genes? No. Money? Absolutely not.

It’s about the small choices they make, every day.

Things you can do. Things you can change.

It’s about what they know and you can learn:

Some of the rules in this book are truly revealing, like the one dedicated to living in the present, or the powerful "No fear, no surprise, no hesitation, no doubt". All in all, I find Richard Templar's book a positive handy manual for life.

What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.

This practical book is easy to read because each rule is explained in a double page. You can simply open the book randomly and read the rule you've landed on.

The explanation of every rule includes a little box that contains the rule in a nutshell. These are some of my favourite boxes:

Live here, live now, live in this moment

Expanding your comfort zone makes you feel good about yourself

You're a grown-up and on your own now

The more we put into our relationships, the more we get out of them

You have a duty to be courteous, thoughtful and co-operative towards your parents

'The rules of life' covers many topics. Its language is direct and clear, which makes this book very easy to read.

Most people think success comes from good luck or enormous talent, but many successful people achieve their accomplishments in a simpler way: through self-discipline. No Excuses! shows you how you can achieve success in all three major areas of your life, including your personal goals, business and money goals, and overall happiness.
