- Abstract
- en_US This curious paperback book begins with cover portraits of the author's father and mother because they "along with a host of teachers, mentors, role models, and friends are Aeverett's Aesop" (3). The book contains over thirty chapters offering life's lessons as Anderson has gleaned them. He had proposed a title "Aeverett's Rules of Order," but his publisher urged him to the present title to sell the book better. He makes his name Everett here into Aeverett out of respect for Aesop even though he recognizes that Aesop may never have existed. He asks poignantly whether history might decide that he, Everett, also never existed! He means to entertain an audience including teenagers while challenging them. Towards the end of that first chapter, the author confesses "many of the things I knew to be true when I was 16, 26, and 43 just weren't so. We never stop learning." I have not explored much further into the book's wisdom but I appreciate its tone! Aesop, I think, would be encouraged!
