Chinese Summary/中文概要： 冰箱门的这边是家庭生活的点点滴滴：妈妈给女儿的小贴纸，女儿写给爸爸的抱怨….
冰箱门那边是冷冻的食物：一个家庭的喜好尽在这无声的冰柜里彰显…
生活中最平常的东西在跟我们诉说怎样的哲理？
而生活中最常说的话，有在讲述怎样的一个故事？
“呃喔！”是我们学会的第一个词，也是我们说的最多的一个词！
每每碰到意料之外的小事时，我们都不经一呼：“呃喔！”
“呃喔！”不仅仅是当你碰到一写小问题的时候的第一反应，“呃喔！”更是一种态度--是一个人对这个宇宙，对自己的人生的看法。
从小看到老，从你对小事的反应和处理方式也直接反射你处理大事的方式哦！！
在本书中，罗伯特﹒福尔格姆探究了不同的主题，从摇滚歌手Meatloaf到救世军乐队（Salvation Army Band），从萤火虫到葬礼，从打嗝到一只没有指针的手表，他游刃有余的让自己的文字游走于世俗和神圣，幽默和叹息，真实和虚幻之间，使两者达成完美的平衡。
在不经意的开怀一笑之间，心神领会！(AC)
Awards/获奖情况：Lay philosopher Fulghum offers advice in the same easygoing mode as All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten et al.; a Literary Guild selection and a 20-week PW bestseller in cloth. Author tour. ---From Publishers Weekly
The author of the bestselling All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten ( LJ 10/1/88) and It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It ( LJ 10/1/88) has put together another volume of bite-sized inspirational whimsies. Drawn from his experiences as a child, as a preacher, and from everyday life, Fulghum’s eye-opening (although never moralistic or preachy) anecdotes are written in a comfortable and unpretentious style, giving one the homey feeling of sitting on grandpa’s porch on a lazy Sunday afternoon sipping iced tea. Some of the essays are reminiscent of Garrison Keillor, flavored with a bit of Norman Vincent Peale. In any case, it is worth taking the time to appreciate simple pleasures and human kindness in today’s hectic and stress-filled world. Fulghum’s book is one way to get started. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 5/1/91.---Susan Brombacher, "Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality", From Library Journal
Fulghum offers a disclaimer at the outset of this collection of new essays: ``Nothing definitive is intended on any subject. In fact, I am deliberately depending on your adding your thoughts and experiences....The book will not work without your taking significant responsibility for it.’’ Uh-oh. Sounds like the Fulghum machine is running out of steam--and the ensuing pages read like it, too. Like the offerings in the megaselling It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It (1989) and All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten (1988), these rambling conversational musings resemble notes for homilies by a puckish minister (which Unitarian Fulghum has been) who likes to tweak his congregants without making anyone uncomfortable. There are a few relatively mind-opening anecdotes here (a juggler at a Christmas Eve service whose equipment was stolen but who nonetheless managed to wow the audience by juggling illusions; a prized cigar of the author’s, laid down for a moment and picked up by an elderly passerby who savored it so thoroughly that Fulghum says, ``The old man may have smoked it, but I’ve not enjoyed a cigar more’’). A school play of Cinderella in which a little fat boy who insisted on playing a pig (nonexistent in the script) steals the show, weddings and funerals relieved of their deadly solemnity by inappropriate bodily noises, the author’s decision to liven up a dumpy day by eating Cheerios and jellybeans and walking to his office wearing his granddaughter’s beanie copter--the trademark Fulghum themes are here as well, but the charm seems thinner, the sentimentality thicker, and the writing slacker. At his best, Fulghum’s simple verities and undemanding spirituality have made him a brand-name remedy for our age’s malaise. This is not his best, but the placebo effect will probably carry it to best-sellerdom. (Literary Guild Dual Selection for September.) ---From Kirkus Reviews
