Rules of Life

A personal code for living a better, happier, more successful kind of life

The hugely anticipated second edition of this bestselling title will show you the simple principles that will help you do less, be more – and live a better and happier kind of life.

Some people seem to be just good at life. They glide effortlessly onwards and upwards, always seeming to know the right things to say and do, in every situation. Everybody likes them – they are great to work with and to live with. They are happy (for the most part) and they know how to roll with life’s punches. They have time for everybody and always seem to know what’s important (and how to deal with what’s not).

Is there something they know and do that we don’t? Is it something we could all learn? The answer is a most definite yes. They know the Rules of Life.

The Rules of Life are the guiding principles that will help you achieve more, shrug off adversity more easily, get more out of life and generally be a happier, calmer, more fulfilled person. You'll feel the benefits – and so will everyone around you.

The second edition of the ultimate self-help Bible, by renowned author Richard Templar has now been updated with new rules in response to real reader suggestions.

Useful primer

I skimmed through this book and bought it as part of an offer with another book that is similar in terms of its genre. It's definitely a useful primer to remind you of how to behave. An international bestseller? Well, with all due respect I'm a bit puzzled. It's got some good common-sense rules which seem to have been distilled from many other sources. So, if you're young and starting out, it may be useful.

Great! Makes me want to read on.

The book is full of advice. Each idea is short and to the point. There is a wealth of wisdom that can be acquired from this book. Life is a game, by knowing the 'Rules of Life', I have learnt to live a full filling, 'contented' life. I am grateful for this book. This book is like a bible to me, I have read it over twenty times!
