Excellent Advice for Living includes wise, practical advice for life.” — Gretchen Rubin, via Twitter “One hundred years from now, when so much of the nonsense of our age is forgotten, people will still remember Kevin Kelly and his wisdom.” —Seth Godin “All will benefit from [Kelly's] idiosyncratic wit and wry humor.” — People Wise, practical, optimistic life advice from author and leading technology thinker Kevin Kelly On his 68th birthday, Kevin Kelly began to write down for his young adult children some things he had learned about life that he wished he had known earlier.
