The book contains twenty-two abiding principles of behavior that are called "Rickisms" in reference to Marriage and Family Therapist, Rick Harrison. He believed that people deserve to feel good about themselves and those they care about.  He provided the tools to help improve and maintain sound relationships and to achieve more adequate, satisfying and productive results in all phases of life,  personal, work and spiritual.  His talent for saying more by using less words is what the 22  life lesson quotes are all about.
