Synopsis First published as the essay "Rules for Being Human" in CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL, this guide to living is infinitely kind without being saccharine. Cherie Carter-Scott, a corporate trainer and motivational speaker, expands the gentle wisdom of her original piece to 40 brief chapters that cover such aspects of living as compassion, forgiveness, commitment, and awareness. The emphasis is on accepting the lessons that life offers without spending too much energy on blame or guilt, and honoring inner wisdom over external authorities. Carter-Scott also advances the idea that other people are a reflection of ourselves, and thus the support and tolerance we offer others is a mirror for our own self-esteem. This influential book spent many weeks at the top of the New York Times best-seller list.
