If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules is a template for living. Everyone needs to read these words of wisdom. It's 'simple' yet important stuff.
The Ten Rules for Being Human are entertaining and fun — but more than that, they're true.
Seemingly simple, this book is layered with wisdom for those willing to put in the effort to think how the text applies to one's life. It reminds me of a Buddhist text where a seemingly simple statement can illuminate a powerful insight. If put into action, this little tome could profoundly affect how life is experienced and lived.
This book helped me to see the light, and I have given copies of it to quite a few family members. It really makes you think — and if nothing else, I learned that there are no mistakes, only lessons. And you better learn your lesson the first time, or you'll be repeating it over and over until you do. Really a great book.
I absolutely love it. I'm recommending it to all my friends and clients.
Dear Dr. Chérie Carter-Scott, I am writing to tell you how much I truly appreciate your great kindness to me.

Thank you so much for the brilliant literary work, If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules. You have given me a gift that I will treasure and cherish forever. You are a brilliant writer and a very kind person. I sincerely believe you may be a genius — if your book is an accurate reflection of your intelligence. Your devoted fan for life.
