12 Rules For Success, Fulfillment, and Betterment: Transform Your Mind and Spirit with This Modern Guide to Ethics, Spirituality, Discipline, Responsibility and Human Flourishing

By Timothy Presley

Twelve rules for living a good life, twelve specific actions to take, and the examples of what you can do in your life that illustrate the many applications. Twelve Rules for Life is both an intimate look into the rules of life that successful people follow by heart and a breath of fresh air in the culture of self-help. Whether you agree with the rules themselves or not, you will find much to think about and discuss in this book.

 

Whether you are living in a large metropolitan area or in the middle of nowhere, I believe that we all need 12 rules for life. We may not agree with them, but we need some guidelines to follow. This is not a book about religion and philosophy; this is about how to live life, and how to live it well.

 

There are no "rules" in this book. Instead, the rules are the way of life that successful people follow by heart--and they are based on their own experiences. Successful people tend to have certain habits and ways of thinking that you can learn from and apply to your own situation.

 

This book is for everyone, no matter what their religion or political affiliation. It is for everyone because it contains the same rules that you will find in any successful person's life. It's truly a guide to how to live, without all the baggage of religious dogma, politics, and bad advice.

 

These rules may not be for everyone, but they are for you. You may not agree with these rules, or even like them. That's okay. The important thing is that they give you a clear idea of what successful people do to lead a good life, and how these principles can be applied in your own life.

 

Here are the 12 rules for life that I believe need to be written down and put into practice today. My hope is that you will not only read these rules, but take them to heart:

1. Be a Student of Life

2. Live in the Present Moment

3. Don't Compare Yourself to Others

4. Make Decisions Based on Facts, Not Emotions

5. Don't Take Things Personally

6. Do Your Best

7. Learn to Say "No"

8. Always Try to Make Peace and Not War

9. Don't Pursue Happiness Only

10. Don't Just Do Something, Stand There

11. Master the Art of Letting Go

12. Learn to Trust Your Intuition

 

If you take these 12 Rules for Life to heart, I believe that your life will improve dramatically. You will become happier, more successful, and you will be able to live life with less stress.

What is the "12 Rules for Life"? The 12 rules are not my own; instead, they are the way of life that people who are successful follow by heart. Pick up this book and learn from the lives of people who have been able to live their life on a higher level and start living yours.
