Publisher's Summary:
Life is hard but it would be easier if you listen to grandma. In this book you will learn many life lessons that will help difficulties become smile worthy memories. Such as:
Life can be simple
Even though you often feel like life is too complicated, it can always be simple. All you need to do is focus on one thing at a time. Whatever you put into life - life will hand you back, with interest.
Don't change for other people
Make people accept you the way that you are or not at all. When you're true to yourself, you add beauty to the world.
Sometimes you need to leave people behind
Not all of our friends help us become better people. In some cases, friends can keep us stunted, not out of malice but because they want to keep you at their level. Learn to tell when this happens and stick only to friends that will help you grow, lift you up and inspire you to be who you really are. And much more!
Members Reviews:
Such a great read!
Life Lessons from Grandma is both a comforting and inspiring read. Each chapter is a separate "lesson," explained using real life scenarios that people of all ages can understand and relate to. This book reminded me how wise grandmas can be, and inspired me to give mine a call and take in all of the advice they have to offer. It's clear that the author understood how significant this advice was and really took these valuable life lessons to heart when writing this book. My favorite chapter in this book, and the one that resonated with me the most, was "Self-Love requires you to be selfish." There was some seriously powerful stuff in this chapter and throughout the entire book that really makes the reader think about how they're living their lives! This book was a quick, enjoyable read that I will definitely be recommending!
Honest life lessons.
Upon reading this book, my initial thoughts about this was it was something already done many times. However, as you go deep into every page, it would become clear that these things are molded to blend with the modern situations.
In short these life lessons that are featured in this book became so much more relevant in the way of living right now. There are just some points that I wanted to point out:
1. I do think that it would have been much better if the tone was more motherly. The author's tone sounded like a young person, instead of the Grandma persona.
2. I like that all the situations featured in the book was relatable. A good book is always relatable, regardless of who would read it. It did definitely show an effort to reach to any young target audience. For adults, it might be a bit of an acquired taste.
3. I find that some of the anecdotes sounded a bit negative. It might be because I was hearing a young person's tone, not of a grandma's. It still is helpful and inspiring, however, it just sounded so firm for my taste.
4. It just sounded a bit too aggressive, at some parts of the book. I mean, it doesn't bother me at all, however, it might end up giving a different interpretation to other readers that would be a bit sensitive in some points given in the book.
5. I like the lightness of it. However, I was looking for the persona of a grandmother, and at some parts, I don't think I really feel the presence of a grandmother giving me all of these life lessons.
Regardless, I find that the things that were addressed in the book could become a source of strength, in some way.
