About the book
Most frustration and unhappiness in your life will come from disrespecting the rules of whatever “game” you are a participant in –be it love, business, health, or social life.
Perhaps you did not know about the existence of such rules because no one explained them to you. In this case, you might think that the world doesn’t make sense and that people are irrational. That’s what I thought when I was 14, and I did not understand why some girls were so fond of the “bad boys” in my school.
Or perhaps you knew about some of such rules but chose to disrespect them because you didn’t like their implication. For example, everyone knows the two rules for losing weight: eat healthily and exercise. However, most do not act on them because they’re uncomfortable practicing them day after day or do not have the time or energy to do so.
We cannot live happily wishing the world followed the rules we are comfortable with. Or, at least, we cannot do it for long. The universe relentlessly punishes those who do not follow its rules.
Paraphrasing Paulo Coelho, failures are life’s way of teaching us its rules. In particular, those we do not want to learn.
In this book, You will find 100 rules that apply to the most important areas of your life.
I call them rules because breaking them has consequences. In the words of bestselling author Stephen Covey, while we are free to choose our actions, we cannot choose their consequences. Apart from the few unfortunate cases in which something bad happened to one of my loved ones, every single time I felt hurt, it was because I broke one of the rules of life.
Pain, sadness, and frustration result from not having learned the rules by which the world works or having chosen to disrespect them.
Over the years, learning from my mistakes, I internalized these rules. Now, I have a fulfilling life of which I’m proud and for which I highly respect myself.
With this book, I entrust you with the rules I learned through experience, allowing you to learn from them without first having to experience on your skin the consequences of breaking them.
