My Daily Rules to Live By: How to Become a Better Person

Everyone experiences times when they are provoked to behave badly, and afterward they may regret those hurtful behaviors. My Daily Rules to Live By offers a set of suggested rules that can enable one to take charge of these damaging behaviors. By simply telling oneself to “Stop!” any potentially damaging behavior, such as one brought on by anger, a person can shift from these destructive expressions of their instinctive self to the compassionate, creative, Higher-level actions of their conscious self. My Daily Rules to Live By was written over a period of more than 25 years. Dr. Sol Weingarten, a noted psychiatrist, has worked with thousands of patients, hundreds of couples, and several thousand California State prison inmates who successfully transformed into kinder, more thoughtful, and happier people by incorporating The Rules into their daily lives. This book describes how The Rules came into being and how they can help you to become a better human being. Practicing My Daily Rules can provide you with the ability to evolve in reaching your potential to relate to others, as well as improving your self-expression. This second edition includes a chapter on forgiveness, something we felt, in hindsight, was missing from the first edition. The ability to forgive oneself and others for our damaging behaviors is yet another powerful tool for helping to create a better future.
