Summary & Review:
President Gordon B. Hinckley, the fifteenth prophet and president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, offers nine principles to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Gleaned over ninety years of life experience and observation, President Hinckley's principles are the nine "Be's" : Be Grateful, Be Smart, Be Involved, Be Clean, Be True, Be Positive, Be Humble, Be Still, and Be Prayerful.
This was an excellent book. I remember attending the fireside (a church meeting) years back where President Hinckley gave his talk outlining these Be's, and this book is a welcome companion to that. If people were to actually live their lives striving to be these nine things, we would see amazing changes, especially in regard to a lot of the little things, like common courtesy, academic honesty, and improved social mores. While a tag line on the cover of this book says it was written for teens, this book hold timeless advice for people of any age and any situation. I recommend it.
Rating: 9.5
