Have you ever had to react quickly to a situation? Have you then regretted your reaction or something you said or did? Basic Rules is a handy reference for navigating some of life's dilemmas. Author Victor Phillips has collected various truths from mentors and friends over the years and learned some from from personal experience. His arrangement of bit-sized sayings is a mixture of serious wisdom and humorous wit that is as easy to read as it is important to remember.

"Many of the statements in Basic Rules have a profound application to living life successfully. Others are a reminder of what our mothers taught us. Both are worth contemplation"
