A good friend of mine, in hopes of getting my life back on track, lend me the book The Rules of Life by Richard Templer. Richard Templer is an internationally acclaimed writer who has produced several best selling works like his other book The Rules of Work.
My friend said that the book has help changed his outlook in life and it has really made his life simpler and happier. Wishing to have the same transformation, i quickly browse through it (literally). The book is easy to read because the "rules" are written in a simple format with short paragraphs delving into the logic behind each rules. The choice of words are plain and common, i guess the author really wanted to deliver the message point blank by hitting the nail on the head. This is good because complexity tends to cloud one's mind which completely defies the purpose of reading a book about simplifying life. According to Richard Templer, the "rules of life" is divided according to 5 domain areas. 1) You 2) Your partner 3) Your Family 4) Social circle 5) World.
Rule of Life is light to the mind but definitely potent to one's heart. What struck me the most about this book is that the rules are actually good old fashion common sense. They are common sense advices yet Richard Templer manages to infuse fresh insight and deeper perspective on how it works. I guess, sometimes we need people to remind us of the simple things in life that actually works.
