Book Description
Common sense is the sound and prudent judgment derived from everyday experiences. In the same manner, the author has drawn her concepts from her childhood and adult experiences, as well as her study of human and group effectiveness. Her commonsense conclusion, presented in the book, is that life is a combination of being both teacher and student. Readers are made aware of the manner in which they are continually teaching something to and learning something from one another and how this dynamic affects the quality of their lives, their families, and all their business and social interactions. Teaching Common Sense is based upon the following premises: We are all born with a unique, special life to live. We learn more each day how to best fulfill that purpose. We are all connected, therefore we learn and grow toward that fulfillment together, or not, it is our choice. Since we are continually learning from and through one another, we are all teachers, regardless of our profession. We will all achieve a higher level of fulfillment together in this life if we focus on being the best teachers we can be. In addition the author's concept of success through a teaching approach, a bonus feature of 100 pages of simple exercises guide readers through the internalizing and application of the seven principles described in the book. The profoundness of the seven principles lies in their simplicity making this a practical, start-tomorrow guide for success, regardless of your profession.
