Summary

With so many decisions to make in the areas of love and relationships, education and professional endeavors, success and personal happiness, it's no wonder that most of us seek good advice from the fount of collective human wisdom at one time or another. Here, in one helpful compendium, is the best advice ever recorded: personal tips, traditional proverbs, and clever observations - some gently inspiring and some profoundly life-changing - from the sages of the literary, political, spiritual, and psychological realms. The chapters span the subjects of advice on education, life and living, success of a personal and financial nature, romantic and platonic love, inspiration, creativity and the arts, sports and competition, business and leadership, and proverbs and folk sayings. The book concludes with a wry chapter on advice about advice.
