IT WAS ON FIRE WHEN I LAID DOWN ON IT

Book ID/图书代码： 13700007B15539

English Summary/英文概要： "More humorous, insightful essays from a master story-teller, Fulghum’s second book It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It reached #2 on the bestseller list while Kindergarten was still #1. This was the first and only time in the list’s history that the same author had the #1 and #2 books at the same time. From burning beds to driver’s ed, from a disastrous wedding to the joy of tree climbing, from the rewards of grandparenthood to simple but surprising wisdom from the head of a Zen Buddhist monastery—Fulghum has a gift for finding meaning in life rather than the meaning of life."

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从灾难性的婚礼到爬树的有趣事情，从当祖父母那时候的奖励到释迦牟尼修道院大师简单而又令人意外的智慧——罗伯特﹒福尔格姆天生就能从生活历练中体会到人生的意义。(AC)

罗伯特﹒福尔格姆(RobertL.Fulghum) 是一个作家、哲学家、演说家，那么多“家”的头衔，但真问他是干什么的，你会发现他什么都做过，牛仔、民俗歌曲歌手、IBM的业务员、职业艺术家、教区牧师、酒保、绘画老师，还有，父亲，当然他最喜欢的，也是目前还在做着的，就是业余哲学家。正如他所说，人生的智慧并不在研究院里，最可亲的哲学也只有在“业余”中才能接近，所以他一直热衷于保持业余的姿态，闲散、悠然、从容、幽默。据说，目前他还在为自己长大——或者说变得更老——之后要干些什么而思索并努力。
他的文字已经被翻译成27种语言，遍布103个国家。著作包括《生命中不可错过的智慧》（ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN，简体已授）《平凡事物中的不凡思想》-- 全美畅销书排行榜第一，被翻译成多国语言，销售达数百万册，还有《我為生命做了什麼?》（WHAT ON EARTH HAVE I DONE?）《简单生活中的快乐哲学》，《迫在眉睫》（It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It），《糟糕》（Uh-Oh），《也许是，也许不是》（MAYBE (MAYBE NOT)）。 所有的作品都在当年的《纽约时报》畅销书榜上缔造佳绩！最新推出大部头作品《第三个心愿》（THIRD WISH: A NOVEL IN FIVE PARTS）。《生命中不可错过的智慧》（ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN）里已经有很多文章被改编为戏剧，吸引美国很多观众到剧场观赏。 目前，他与妻子住在西雅图。
