Philosophy as Taught by Life's Experience Frank Borelli

"Philosophy as Taught by Life's Experience" is a compendium of articles, essays and discussions about managing your outlook to mitigate negative impact from what might otherwise be viewed as a challenge or obstacle. The lessons described are gleaned from a wide variety of experiences and an equal variety of sources. From military experience to children to work to social settings, life's experiences are had every day and in every circumstance. The lessons that can be learned from them are only limited by one's outlook and, sometimes, closed mindedness. The book is organized in eight sections delineating the source of the lesson for the author. He lists them out as Military, his children, his father, experiences during travel, his family, lessons learned in general settings, lessons learned while socializing and finally, lessons learned at work. There are over forty different philosophies and outlooks discussed, all from different situations and centered around different challenges or obstacles in life. The author takes a discussional approach, and after describing the circumstances that spawned whatever challenge is described, the author details out the approach he feels is best for changing a negative outlook to a positive one. These are philosophies that have served him well and that others have proclaimed beneficial as they adjust their own approach to various challenges in life.
