Forty Things I Wish I''d Told My Kids: Mindful Messages About Success, Happiness, Leather, Pickles, and the Use and Misuse of Imagination

English

By (author): John Allcock

40 Things I Wish Id Told My Kids is about being a successful human being and living a happier, more meaningful life. It contains the important things parents wish they had been able to teach their kids, but couldnt because they never learned them, or only learned them later in life. These include:
  • Dont be ruled by the tyranny of events
  • The belief that happiness comes from getting what we want is false
  • Pain is unavoidable; suffering is optional
  • We live in a sea of uncertainty but we already know how to swim
  • Dont treat the present moment like its a shabby motel room
    40 Things I Wish Id Told My Kids brings mindfulness to the widest possible audience by presenting it not as special and exotic, but as practical, simple, down-to-Earth principles for living that every parent wants their kids to know
