If Life is a Game, These are the Rules: Ten Rules for Being human - Softcover

If you loved "The Rules for Being Human" attributed to "Anonymous" in the best-seller Chicken Soup for the Soul, you're in luck. The author--corporate trainer Chérie Carter-Scott, PhD--has stepped forward and written a follow-up book: If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules. This book, "a basic spiritual primer for what it means to be a human", discusses each of the 10 rules (for example, "There are no mistakes, only lessons" and "Lessons are repeated until learned") and discusses them with kindness, eloquence, and wisdom. For example, rule 1 is: "You will receive a body. You may love it or hate it, but it will be yours for the duration of your life on Earth". Carter-Scott discusses the challenge of making peace with the body we've been given, and the lessons of acceptance (appreciating it as it is), self-esteem (viewing yourself as worthy, despite how your body looks or performs), respect (treating it like a "valuable and irreplaceable object"), and pleasure (indulging in the five senses to "unlock the joy stored within you"). Similarly, each of the rules has four "lessons". You'll read this inspirational book more than once, and mark quotes to tell friends. --Joan Price
