Book Description:
A timeless collection of wisdom on love, friendship, respect, individuality, and honesty from the man who has been a friend to generations of Americans.

There are few personalities who evoke such universal feelings of warmth as Fred Rogers. An enduring presence in American homes for over 30 years, his plainspoken wisdom continues to guide and comfort many. The World According to Mister Rogers distills the legacy and singular worldview of this beloved American figure.

An inspiring collection of stories, anecdotes, and insights -- with sections devoted to love, friendship, respect, individuality, and honesty, The World According to Mister Rogers reminds us that there is much more in life that unites us than divides us.

Culled from Fred Rogers' speeches, program transcripts, books, letters, and interviews, along with some of his never-before-published writings, The World According to Mister Rogers is a testament to the legacy of a man who served and continues to serve as a role model to millions.

"The world needs a sense of worth, and it will achieve it only by its people feeling that they are worthwhile."

"The older I get, the more convinced I am that the space between communicating human beings can be hallowed ground."

"The more I think about it, the more I wonder if God and neighbor are somehow One. ‘Loving God, Loving neighbor' -- the same thing? For me, coming to recognize that God loves every neighbor is the ultimate appreciation!"

If there was no God, I would worship Mr. Fred Rogers. :-) What a beautiful human being with so many simple and profound comments on life. Get this book for yourself and give it to ANYONE as a gift.

There is more to this man than many people know; I invite you to investigate. He has a way of saying things that you might take for granted, but that in many ways go against the dogma of our modern American society: it isn’t a good idea to maintain a cheerful facade all the time; people feel freer to be themselves when they are assured of rules and boundaries than when they are allowed to do anything with no responsibility; every now and again you need to stop and recharge and rethink- you can’t keep going 100% all the time.

There are many things to stop and think about from a man who dedicated his life to helping future generations develop their potential to the fullest and recognize the connection between all human beings.

Awesome tribute to Mr. Rogers! Takes me back to being 3 years old and waiting in anticipation for his show to start! This book reminded me of all those good feelings that I got from watching his show~That I was important, I mattered, and someone cared about me. Really a great read, for anyone!

"If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet;how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person."-From The world according to Mister Rogers
