This book was popular when I started working in a bookstore in 1988. The advice and articles are still timely and easy to read. This would still be a good book for a graduate, teacher, or student, despite its "age".

Insightful musings on how significance can be found in the smallest details and when lest expected. A modern day classic and a must for every home library!

This book contains all the lessons we need to know to lead a successful life. It is a reminder that we learned long ago the lessons we need in Kindergarten to be successful at whatever endeavor we choose

Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you sorry when you hurt someone. Wash your hands before you eat.

Yes, all of us need to be reminded about the most important things that we've forgotten. He covers much more than I can type here.

A handful of books have magic attached to them and "All I Really Need to Know" is one of the rare few destined to become a modern classic . . .a collection of uncommon thoughts on common things . . .

"Uncommon thoughts on common things."

Very good quick read.

The title says it all !!
Wickedly entertaining..............
A lot of enjoyable common sense at work.

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten is brimming with the very stuff of life and the significance found in the smallest details.
