A few weeks after Dad passed away," says H. Jackson Brown, Jr., the compiler of A Father's Book of Wisdom, "we found eight shoeboxes in his closet filled with scraps of paper all covered with ideas Dad thought were profound, interesting, or merely amusing." The result is one father's view of life and what he thought about the importance of self-reliance, commitment, love, generosity, and success. It contains 159 quotes from Socrates, Eleanor Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, Mother Teresa, and many others covering such topics as achievement,courage, happiness, parenting, success, and values. Quotations such as "If you're looking for a big opportunity, seek out a big problem" and "Life doesn't come with an instruction book - that's why we have fathers" communicate an upbeat, positive view of the world that will inspire and charm the reader.

In 1991, H. Jackson Brown, Jr. published Life's Little Instruction Book™, which was originally written as a gift for his son, Adam, as he left home in 1990 to begin his freshman year in college. "I wanted to provide Adam with a road map of what I had learned about living a happy and rewarding life," said Brown. The observations were direct, simple, and as practical as an umbrella. Life's Little Instruction Book™ was a publishing phenomenon. It sold more than six million copies in the United States and Canada. The hardcover and paperback editions were both in the number-one spot on the New York Times bestseller list at the same time. It has been published in twenty-nine countries and been on bestseller lists in England, Israel, Japan, Brazil, and elsewhere. In the last few years, thousands of readers have shared with H. Jackson Brown suggestions and observations from their own parents and grandparents. Moreover, Adam has graduated from college and now works in an advertising agency. As Adam started this new phase of his life, his father again prepared a gift for his son of "suggestions on how to live a happy and rewarding life." Some came from Brown's own experience; others, which had been shared with him, he found to be especially meaningful.Like the first two volumes, Life's Little Instruction Book™, Volume III is a gentle reminder of the important things in life.

All of us have had a great teacher at some time. Mine was Miss Mitchell. She was my first-grade teacher, and what I remember best was that she never criticized the colors I used when I drew. “That’s lovely,” she would say, and my little fingers would eagerly pick up a crayon to draw another purple horse. Partly because of her, I have never been reluctant to take chances. And then there was Coach Hood who thought I could play first string even though I was twenty pounds lighter than the rest of the squad. In the first game of the season, I ran for two touchdowns. I still carry with me the newfound confidence I felt walking off the field that afternoon. Thank you, Coach Hood. Then there is the one teacher we all share—the oldest, wisest, and most demanding. When Experience stands at the head of the class, we all pay attention. How do you make a girl go crazy? What really happens when you lick a slug? Some lessons cannot be found in books. We quickly learn that cars roll down steep driveways when the emergency brakes are released and that, nine times out of ten, a tall person will sit in front of a short one at the movies. But sometimes hope triumphs over experience—for there are a few of us who, regardless of how many times we’ve been disappointed by the picture on the box, still buy the cereal with the toy inside.
Life's Little Instruction Book is a guidebook that gently points the way to happiness and fulfillment. The observations are direct, simple, and as practical as an umbrella.

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.

Nothing is more exciting to find...more devastating to lose...or more difficult to capture in words. We never stop trying to describe love. Yet, we never fully succeed.

Many of Brown's readers wrote back with their own insights. In this little treasure book, Brown adds some of their discoveries to his own observations about love, plus favorite lines of poetry, prose, and song. This book reminds us that love is not only an exquisite feeling but also a profound responsibility.
Once in a while a person touches our lives with words and actions so special that they change us forever. These are the people who extend our vision and inspire us to higher levels of personal achievement. they are our heros. For centuries we've used the exemplary lives of heroes to teach us the benefits of persistence and commitment. And with today's creeping cynicism and irreverence, the model of the hero becomes more important than ever.
