If you cannot look around the internet and find copies of about the 25% most popular stuff 1 out there for free, then I don't think the book can help you. Your sort of like the guy who asked me 25 years ago where to download free porn on the internet.If you really really really get desperate and can't figure out how to get it off the internet, there are these things called libraries.1 I keep looking for a series made about 40 years ago featuring EJPeaker and Robert Morse called 'That's Life'. I know it will never be released legally because it was musical and to get the copyrights to all the music now would be prohibitively expensive. Still can't find it.2 Just to check, and no I didn't download it, I quickly got several hits not counting those on the Lumen database. I wonder how google gets away with posting those ( Lumen ) links.

Rule 2: Were it not for your light-hearted tongue-partially-in-cheek Curriculum Vitae (final page of “12 Rules”), I probably would not have made bold to write you. But I sensed there and elsewhere within your book a humble honesty rarely found within such pages of erudite discourse. So I’ll offer a stab at addressing your puzzlement (pg 46) over the meaning of the “creature in the garden.” Like you, I’ll save my Curriculum Vitae for the end. But up front I’ll fess up, I lack your (well deserved) credentials.
I am not priest, pastor, or professor. I am but a septuagenarian who yet retains curiosity.There are two key words I find useful in explaining the creature in the garden. The first is love.
The second is free will. (Okay, that’s three words. Bear with me.) Not long ago I found myself writing an essay to my 21-year-old grandson.
Mostly I think my thoughts were original, but in truth more like today’s humus derived from yesterday’s granite mountain peaks.Let’s begin with free will. I find it truly this simple. In the absence of evil, there exists no choice for good. Genesis does not say, “Let there be evil,” but it is evident the Author of Life created, or at least, permitted, the presence of evil.
I suppose it matters little whether “evil” is depicted as a serpent, but its presence is essential. It is the sine qua non of good and of choice.Closely related is the matter of love. Here is what I explained to my grandson:Love by its very nature is a relationship of reciprocity. Love is not complete, cannot be complete, until received and then returned.
Without reciprocity, love withers, love dies. The reciprocity of love is like an oval. The giving is complete only with the receiving. The receiving responds with giving. The giver becomes the recipient who again becomes the giver. God freely gives love. We freely choose to receive His love.
We freely choose to return His love. Had He not created us, God’s own love would remain incomplete!
We humans complete God’s gift of love. We do so when we choose to receive, to return, to reciprocate.
Oddly enough, even God with all His power cannot complete the cycle of love without human response. Love, then, is both reciprocal and symbiotic.So, yes, there is cause for puzzlement. After all, who would believe that God couldn’t do it alone! All the more reason to treat ourselves as if we are someone we are responsible for helping.
What a beautiful chapter!. I am on chapter 5. The book could be more concise and clearer with its points to the point where 150 pages would probably have been a good length. It's way too verbose and it feels like every sentence is a paragraph which consequently takes the reader away from the point so one has to re-read pretty much every sentence. The biblical references make the book a chore to read. I don't have an interest in Christianity so it is agonising to try and be interested in the point he is trying to drive home.
So far nothing has popped out at me as being life changing in terms of content. I am going to finish the book on principle, but I don't look forward to reading more of it. In chapter 1, with the lobster, he goes through the whole chapter explaining the importance of not bekng defeated, or how to not act when defeat occurs as to not project that defeat onto everyones view of you. I get it, but at the end he mentions that lobsters who have been defeated, who try again after defeat, due to an injection of serotonin, are more likely to be defeated again.This makes me question the purpose or maybe just why he says everything in chapter 1 if it seems to me that defeat for those who will lose is inevitable.
Is this a way of saying not to be defeated to begin with in order to save yourself from defeat? Or does this mean that once we lose a fight, weve lost, and must find other fights to fight, Where we should make sure not to lose or face the same result?It was a mood killer in the sense that it seems second chances arent what you should look for after failure, but making sure not to lose the first opportunity you have. To hear a lobster could muster the courage to fight again after defeat, to stand up tall and face his chaos, only to inevitably lose again feels different from what the rest of the chapter was telling me.But that did change the way i understood the chapter after reading it.
He never shies away from the fact that life is brutal and full of suffering. The only way out is to take the responsibility and then you have a chance, it's not inevitable, because life is not fair.There are billions of us. Life doesn't have the resources to be fair.It has to be brutal or the planet would be stripped bare. If every lobster that put forth the effort survived and dominated, the lobster population would become unstable and collapse.Life is. There is no fair. The point is that if you take up the responsibility, THEN you have a chance to survive and thrive.
If more people take responsibility, more people thrive. Understand, though, that there is no scenario where there is a guarantee for someone to thrive because they worked hard.
They are more likely to, but it's not certain. And many can't survive and that's just the way it is.That's life. I think everyone who responded is missing the real point here. It's not about winning, its about always trying and believing in yourself. Yes it's true, we have limits but only trying your hardest in the face of failure time and time again will show those limits. If you concede to defeat before trying, or just because you've failed before, then what else do you have?
It's better to be a determined fool than one who does nothing. If you're destined to failure what do you have to lose? Keep trying.
No no no, my point is that the goal is not the purpose of trying. The purpose is what that effort does to your character and the way you feel about yourself and your life. You can be an utter failure and still achieve high character and enjoyment of life. If you only value the the achievement at the end then you will one day hit your maximum and lose the character you’ve obtained.It’s not about winning or crossing the finish line. It’s about what you get out of continuously trying to win and setting goals and the prospect of crossing the finish line. It’s the journey that builds character not the result of what you set out to accomplish. You can go a long way setting goals and achieving them but one day you’ll hit your maximum and you’ll hit that challenge you never overcome but as long as you keep trying and never resign to total and complete failure you maintain the character you’ve achieved from the act of trying.
Do you understand my point now?An example of this is a thought experiment anyone can try. You have a goal and one day without really trying you achieve that goal by shear luck.
What have you gained for yourself? You didn’t build anything you just lucked into what you set out to achieve. This illustrates that the fruition of the goal itself is not correlated with the positive aspects that are obtained from the effort to achieve a goal. Winning and status are unfortunately positional goods and zero sum games, so someone will always be last and second last etc. Someone growing in status and position is doing it at the expense of others (in terms of those things, but he might of course be generally valuable in other ways, like economically, an area where everyone can win), and someone getting an attractive girlfriend is making the situation a little worse for every other guy (there are far more men who want a beautiful girlfriend than there are beautiful women, so needless to say most will lose, by mathematical necessity.)Kind of depressing, if you look at it broadly. But it is what it is.
