Instruction Book for Being a Person: Or Just Feeling Better

Jerry Lewis's book "Being a Person" is a delightful book that provides individuals with simple instructions for how to be happy. Aristotle said that the goal of all humans is to reach a state of happiness, and that we achieve this happiness by living a virtuous life. Well, Lewis provides a variety of suggestions for how one can live a virtuous life, be happy, and in the process become a "real" person. The book combines Lewis's words of wisdom, usually one or two sentences, with some wonderful drawings that show what happens when one starts living being a person. The book is appropriate for all age groups, and is a perfect gift for anyone who needs a little direction in how to be happy and feel better, or for anyone who is just happy all the time. It can be read in a matter of minutes, but its lessons stick with you forever.

This is an excellent, brief, inspirational book. Years before DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF and other tiny inspirational books, Jerry Lewis knew what he was doing. This is a great "pick-me-up" type read and you will enjoy it if you are a HUGE Jerry Lewis fan like me, or if you just need a moment of inspiration. Jerry's words a precise and to the point and the illustrations add to the message. Makes a great gift!
