Trust him on the sunscreen

This book has THE best points and views that a person can make. From love to living he covers it all. Now that high school is coming to an end I really get the entire effect of what he is really trying to say, and Finally someone put the basics of life down in words. Its everything they never taught us in school and everything we ever just wanted to hear from someone. It makes you think about life and how short or long it is. As he says,"The race is long, but in the end its only with yourself."
This is the commencement speech we should have heard.

Mary Schmich's funny, wise, and oh-so-true faux commencement address is a joy to read over and over again, and a great gift for recent graduates or to folks just needing a lift. If you are old enough to appreciate the wisdom of her words, you'll nod your head and smile. If too young, listen to what she says, and trust all of us, wear sunscreen. You'll thank us later.
This is one of the most fantastic, enlightening books ever.

FIVE STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH FOR THIS BOOK!!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Initially, I was skeptical of Ms. Schmich's inspired, heartfelt advice for living. But after friends convinced me that this was not just another "get rich quick" scheme, I really started to listen ...and listen! ... and Listen!!!! Ms. Schmich's advice has the kind of downhome wholeness and hermeneutical quidditas I've never experienced from any writer except Ayn Rand who is still my all time favorite. I don't think there's any amount of money you could pay to make this book too expensive. And I can't believe I'm the only reader who has had similar experiences???
