THE ESSENTIAL WORLDWIDE LAWS OF LIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 12686011B50326
English Summary/英文概要： What does it mean to live a good life? The major scriptures of the world, various schools of philosophical thought, storytell-ers, scientists, artists, and historians have all offered answers to this question. Surprisingly, many of these answers are com-mon among nearly all of these sources. Famed investor and philanthropist John Templeton called these commonalities the “laws of life,” and in The Essential Worldwide Laws of Life he gathers the best of these teachings into an accessible and inspiring primer on these valuable lessons.
This handsome new volume is aimed at assisting readers of all ages and from all parts of the world to learn more about the universal truths of life that transcend modern times or particu-lar cultures in the hope that it may help them to make their lives not only more joyous but more useful. The laws that were chosen for this book are both important and possible to apply in anyone’s life. Each law is presented in an essay for-mat, with applications, opinions, stories, examples, and quota-tions offered to emphasize the validity of the law. Each quota-tion that serves as the title of an essay points to a particular law that holds true for most people under most circumstances.
The material is designed to inspire as well as encourage read-ers, to help them consider more deeply the laws they person-ally live by, and to reap the rewards of their practical applica-tion.

About the Author/作者介绍： John Templeton是金融投资和慈善事业的先驱者，他一生都在鼓励思想的开放。John Templeton自1937年起在华尔街开始他的事业，继而开创了世界上最大也是最成功的国际投资资金，最终获得了“本世纪最优的全球股票选择者“的美誉。在1972年，他成立了世界上最大的一项个人年度奖——1000000英镑的邓普顿奖。此奖项旨在嘉奖对人类精神层面有所贡献的人。John Templeton还贡献了相当数量的财产，于1987年成立了John Templeton基金会。John Templeton在2008年去世，但以他名字命名的基金会每年还会捐赠几百万美元给有贡献的人们。
As a pioneer in both financial investments and philanthropy, Sir John Templeton spent a lifetime encouraging open-mindedness. Templeton started his Wall Street career in 1937 and went on to create some of the world’s largest and most successful international investment funds, eventually earning the label of “arguably the great-est global stock picker of the century” from Money magazine. In 1972, he established the world’s largest an-nual award given to an individual: the £1,000,000 Templeton Prize. The Prize is intended to recognize exem-plary achievement in work related to life’s spiritual dimension. Templeton also contributed a sizable amount of his fortune to the John Templeton Foundation, which he established in 1987. Templeton passed away in 2008, but the Foundation that bears his name continues to award millions of dollars in annual grants in pursuit of its mission to serve as a philanthropic catalyst for research on what scientists and philosophers call the “big ques-tions.”
