Additional Life Is So Good Information
|
In Life Is So Good, George Dawson shares his wisdom and knowledge about survival, joy, people, and the hidden beauty of growing old. Now 101, Dawson has witnessed a century of change. Born in Marshall, Texas, in 1898, he was eight years old when he first left home to live and work on a white family's farm. But from his warm and loving parents Dawson took with him a positive outlook, based on focusing on how much they had rather than how little, the wise observance of others, and common sense. This book captures Dawson's personality, voice, philosophy, and amazing life story. Throughout this story, Life Is So Good shows us as well the history of America itself as seen through his eyes - segregation and race relations in the South, the World Wars, the invention of the automobile and the airplane, the desegregation of baseball, and other historic events. Life Is So Good is an inspiring story for generations to come.

This book has encouraged me to go back to school.If he accomplished what he set out to do,so can I.
My message for them: Read George Dawson's life story to learn how to enjoy a rewarding lifestyle to ninety and beyond.Al Kayworth, authorAmazon.comAbenaki Warrior; Legends of the PondThe Scalp HuntersTrafford Books:Iceman to the Internet For this eighty nine year old reader, Richard Glaubman's portrayal of George Dawson's triumph over predudice and age related depression is an excellent remedy against premature death. The book should be compulsory reading for old-timers stewing in the bitter juices of personal hatred and predudice.
No matter what was thrown at him, he controlled what his life was like. A display of natural wisdom and good values, served up with class. Superfast read. Inspiring. A worldview that will really work in adverse times and good times.
Read it. I love this book. It's great to read something so uplifting and positive. You won't be able to put it down. It is so interesting. I've laughed and cryed over the stories and history this book covers.
At age 98, he decided to learn to read. He was born into poverty as the grandson of slaves. He lived a life of hardship, and while he was blessed with a long life, many of his loved ones were not.Yet, despite these hardships, Dawson is a man full of peace and lovingness. "Things will be all right. In this amazing biography, he looks back on over a century of life and shares his hopes and wonderment for the future. Life is good, just as it is. People need to hear that. There isn't anything I would change about my life." This the overarching theme throughout George Dawson's autobiography.By all measures, George Dawson shouldn't be a man at peace with the world.
