Greg Brandon 5 out of 5 stars Great quotes! Great teaching tool! Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2024 Format: Paperback Verified Purchase I love a good quote and this book is full of them. I enjoy reading them but also intend to use the book as a teaching tool for my grandchildren. I plan to share a quote a day with them and select certain ones for discussion to get them thinking. I will also encourage them to study the author of the quote. It’s important for them to see things through a different lense and learn about a wide variety of people and how they made history. I have high expectations for my grandchildren and want them to realize that they, too, can achieve great things.
Ryan H. - Wichita, KS 5 out of 5 stars Great resource for writers or speakers Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2024 Format: Paperback I received this book as a stocking stuffer for Christmas 2023. I've made it a practice at the end of each month to go through and read the previous months quotes and highlight the ones that speak to me. There is such a wide range of subjects covered in these quotes. They have led me to new ideas for my writing and have helped to enlarge the scope of my thinking.
If I could offer one suggestion for improvement it would be an appendix at the back of the book with a short description of each of the people quoted in this book, including historical significance and years of birth and death.

R. Jolly 5 out of 5 stars For anyone who wants to hear somethinng worth knowing Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2020 Format: Paperback Verified Purchase Personally, I am obsessed with gaining knowledge ( a nerd for good non-fiction books, I guess). The bible says to gain knowledge to gain wisdom. How else can it be done? I find no other way that to search, read, study what individuals much smarter than me have experienced. With this book, you are looking across several hundred years (maybe over 1,000 years) of knowledge and wisdom, gained. You are only given approximately 70 years, plus or minus, to experience and learn. Not long, right? By reading biographies and quotes of many people you can have access to a thousand years experiences, and knowledge, to gain wisdom, which makes all of our lives richer and happier, in may ways. Few people seem to understand this and fewer still, even care. It's the rare few who do, who become the movers and shakers on this planet.
Bill 5 out of 5 stars This is one of the best books I have ever bought. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 20, 2025 Format: Paperback Verified Purchase This book will not be for everyone. It will appeal to people with a philosophical outlook who give a lot of thought to all aspects of life and of human behaviour. The great majority of quotes here, and there are a mountain of them, have something important to say and be considered. (eg.- 'illegal aliens have always been a problem in the United States, ask any Indian!') Many, many are also very funny - a great book and HIGHLY recommended. Thanks - Terry.
The Life, the Obsessions, the Good Deeds of America’s Most Decent Guy
An entertaining and insightful homage to America’s favorite movie star, from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Tao of Bill Murray.
Niceness gets a bad rap these days. Our culture rewards those who troll the hardest and who snark the most. At times it seems like there’s no place anymore for optimism, integrity, and good old-fashioned respect. Enter “America’s Dad”: Tom Hanks. Whether he’s buying espresso machines for the White House Press Corps, rewarding a jovial cab driver with a night out on Broadway, or extolling the virtues of using a typewriter, Hanks lives a passionate, joyful life and pays it forward to others. Gavin Edwards takes readers on a tour behind the scenes of Hanks’s life: from his less-than-idyllic childhood, rocky first marriage, and career wipeouts to the pinnacle of his acting career and domestic bliss with the love of his life, Rita Wilson.
As he did for Bill Murray, Edwards distills Hanks’s life story into ten “commandments” that beautifully encapsulate his All-American philosophy. Contemplating the life, the achievements, and the obsessions of Mr. Tom Hanks may or may not give you the road map you need to find your way. But at the very least, it’ll show you how niceness can be a worthy destination.
“If there is a new Mr. Rogers in our culture, it’s got to be Tom Hanks: honest, decent, trustworthy. Gavin Edwards’s book taps into what makes Hanks someone we love and someone we should emulate.” ―Morgan Neville, Oscar-winning director of Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
