All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

Fifteenth Anniversary Edition Reconsidered, Revised, & Expanded With Twenty-Five New Essays

De: Robert Fulghum

Narrado por: Robert Fulghum

Fifteen years ago, Robert Fulghum published a simple credo that became the phenomenal #1 New York Times best seller All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Now, seven million copies later, Fulghum returns to the book that was embraced around the world. He has written a new preface and twenty-five essays, which add even more potency to a common piece of wisdom: the most basic concepts of life bear its most important opportunities.

Here Fulghum engages us with musings on life, death, love, pain, joy, sorrow and the best chicken-fried steak in the continental USA. The love story of Jean-Francois Pilatre and his hot air balloon reminds us to be unafraid to "fly"...life lessons hidden in the laundry pile...magical qualities found in a box of crayons. All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten is brimming with the very stuff of life and the significance found in the smallest details.

In the years that have passed since the first publication of this book, Robert Fulghum has had some time to ponder, to reevaluate and to reconsider. Here are those fresh thoughts on classic topics, right alongside the wonderful new essays. Perhaps in today's more challenging world, these essays on life will resonate more deeply as listeners discover how universal insights can be found in ordinary events.

Good wıth poor reader!

The content was superb. The delıvery was poor. I liked thıs book but was really not happy he should have had someone else read ıt!

One of the best!

Robert Fulghum is the wise and funny friend everyone wishes they had for their very own.

As for the reviewer who said he had a boring voice -- RIDICULOUS! He has a wonderful, soothing, friendly, loving voice.

I highly recommend this audio book and it's companion book. I read the original book, and now I'm hearing him read it; and all the new essays are just as good as the original.

Get it, and get a new perspective on life!

Medium Expected more

Listening to "All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten", written and narrated by Robert Fulghum, has given me joy and pleasure in childhood flashbacks.
I have never attended kindergarten. So, I probably thought I would gain it after listening to this Audible original.
Only 3💫.

Feeling Better About Life

Great book to listen to while traveling. Both humorous and thought provoking. Eventhough it's been around for decades it's still very entertaining.

I listen to these essays over and over again.

I love these stories and the author does a wonderful job as narrating his work. I've read the book, listened to the book and learned some interesting ways to view the world around me!

Highly entertaining, touching, and inspirational

Not only is he a great story teller, he has lived an interesting, rich life. I found myself looking forward to the commute to and from work just so that I could listen to his book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has time to listen. It is easy to follow his stories and unlike some books, it translates beautifully to audio.

I have a new hero…

Need I say more than the title of this review? Do I wish I read the first edition back when it was first published? No, only perhaps no. No and yes. Mr. Fulghum would most likely say that I read this book at exactly the right time. The important part is that I did read it. Oh, and when I say read, of course I mean that I had story time. The important part is that you too, have story time with this book whether with your eyes or ears but for a real treat, listen. Thank you Robert Fulghum. Now I must go buy a deluxe box of 64 Crayolas for a friend.

Stories with a message

I love the stories that animate the chore message. A pleasant surprise to what I thought was a somewhat mundane topic. The performance was excellent because off the confident peaceful demeanor out the performer. I was pleasantly surprised.

thought provoking

loved it, leaves you thinking about people and places in your life...funny and powerful

great book

One of the most heart warming and fun short story series ever. All ages, can't say enough good things.
