The Complete Live And Learn And Pass It on

By H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Book Overview

On the morning of H. Jackson Brown's fifty-first birthday, he jotted down a few of the important things more than half a century of living had taught him. He enjoyed the exercise so much that he made it a weekly project. Later, a friend said he would like to try. Other joined in. Contributions from kindergarten kids, high school students, young married couples, and senior citizens made Brown realize that wisdom knows no age and that truth is truth no matter where you find it. What ultimately comes through in the contributions to Live and Learn and Pass It On is a sense of cheerfulness, resolve, and the importance of keeping things in perspective. A forty-two-year-old father wrote, "I've learned that a shoeshine box made by my eight-year-old son at Vacation Bible School is my most prized possession." "That's as powerful a statement about priorities and what makes life worth living as you will ever read," says Brown. This edition contains all three volumes of the book that spent more than 28 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.

Customer Reviews

great book!

The profundity of the sayings in this book - ranging from kiddish to wise - plainly reflect on the person's age, experience and state of mind. To us, it suggests that our thought process is dynamic and constantly evolving, our every act has a stamp of 'nature and nurture' in it that there is no right or wrong in doing things (everything is relative) - and no wonder, we are complicated creatures!! In other words, 'Live, learn and pass it on' is an excellent consolidation of shared thoughts based on one thing a person had learned from his/her life. I would definitely recommend it!
