Product Information

A proper apology consists of conveying the 3 Rs: regret (genuine empathy with the other) responsibility (not blaming someone else) and remedy (your willingness to fix it). An inspiring and helpful book, Excellent Advice for Living is a must-have for anyone looking for practical advice on life. Kevin Kelly’s new book, Excellent Advice for Living, is a must-read for anyone seeking guidance on how to live a fulfilling life. So much so that simply showing up on bad days is worth far more than superhuman efforts on rare good days.

Having read all of Kevin Kelly’s previous books (and having read his 68 unsolicited bits of advice on his 68th birthday) I knew this book was going to be gold. Trust the 3-star product reviews because they tell both the good and the bad, which is the real state for most things.It's unfortunate when someone you carefully trained leaves; but it is worse if you don't train them and they stay. To avoid the annoyance of leaving things behind while on the road, keep your possessions visible and grouped together where possible. Kevin Kelly tells you right away he isn't reinventing the wheel and much, if not all, of this advice came to him from other sources, but just like him, it's on us to put it into practice and meditate on it. Stay open to trying things, and set aside any pressure to hold tight to a singular definition of success. He is the founder of the legendary WIRED magazine, worked with Stewart Brand on Whole earth catalog and so on.

But rather than dictate how to apply the wisdom presented, Kelly invites you to expand on each bit to fit your life and experience. The path to a better life won’t always be easy, but you can dodge some of the common pitfalls by absorbing a few bits of wisdom along the way. Whether you’re just starting out in life or looking to make a fresh start, Excellent Advice for Living is a must-read guide to help you navigate the complexities of the modern world and find your own path to happiness and success.
