Title: Savage only to credibility
Review: Without question, Life Lessons is NOT about inspirational instruction, but about avoiding plagiarism through appropriating the thoughts of others and changing just enough words to maintain the wisdom without crediting the rightful source. Case in point: Life Lessons page 11 "What lies behind us or before us - are tiny matters compared to lies in us" (unattributed). Then there are the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Do your philosopher friends a favor. Give them a REAL book of thoughts, one in which the originator is appropriately credited. This book infuriated me as a person who enjoys good quotes, and galled me as a person with some modicum of ethics. I will delight in doing something I normally abhor -- tearing off its cover and sending it to recycling, a fate that no book should face, but appropriate for this rip-off.
