When asked what he does, Robert Fulghum usually replies that he is a philosopher, and explains that what he likes to do is to think about everyday things and then to express what he thinks by writing, speaking or painting. All I Really Need To Know is a collection of his favourite observations, written over the years, that reveal simple truths about small lives with big meanings. Like the things he learned in the sandpit at Sunday School: share everything; play fair; don′t hit people; put things back where you found them; clean up your own mess; say you′re sorry when you hurt somebody, and so on. His uncommon thoughts on common things hold true, clear and firm however complicated or sophisticated the situation - and they are bound to raise the spirits and to warm the heart.
A number one best-seller in the United States, All I Really Need To know has established itself as a modern classic. Written with wit and insight that is striking in its freshness and simplicity, it cannot fail to move everyone who reads it - leaving them wiser, gentler and feeling good.
