Ernie does it again, Nov 4 2007
By W. Schroeder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting (Paperback)
I'm a big fan of Ernie Zelinsky's work. I especially liked How To Retire Happy, Wild and Free and Real Success Without a Real Job. His strength is not in creating wild new ideas but in reminding us about the simple things in life and how enjoy and treasure them here and now. In his new book, 101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting, he does it again. It tells you right in the title you already know these things, but he has a simple, homespun style that is engaging and really makes you think. With 101 chapters of two pages each it's not something you read in one sitting; I have my copy on the nightstand with other books and read a few chapters at a time when I feel like getting a lift. Recommended.

The best book I have ever read............, Dec 23 2007

101 Important Things You Already Knew But Keep Forgetting is one of the best inspirational books I have ever read. I bought 4 copies of these books as presents for the people in my life. The stories are short(two pages) and tell life like it is. This book is better than therapy! There is not one page of this book that doesn't have meaning to everyone's personal life experiences.

As a fan, I found this work OK but not among his best, Nov 24 2007

I share Ernie Zelinski's outlook on life. I love to hear about working less and more creatively. I agree with his advice to develop a life outside of work. I think The Joy of Not Working and Retire Wild, Happy, and Free are better examples of this attitude. This book has its moments but sounds more like a Get Rich or Become Successful self-help book. I thought he was catering more to the How to be a Millionaire crowd. He doesn't do this for every essay but is closer than some of his other books. I still give it 4 stars because I enjoy hearing whatever Ernie has to say.
