Riassunto

The First Commandment: people are illogical, unreasonable and self-centred. Love them anyway. These commandments were first written down by Kent M. Keith for student leaders in the 1960s. Over the following years they spread via word-of-mouth and became greatly valued - sdopted by people worldwide, including Mother Teresa. Here, the commandments are collected with each principle illustrated and with inspiring stories from his own life, as well as classic examples from history. They offer a way of living far removed from the lefestyles that strives for the popular symbold of success- wealth, power and fame. Instead, they focus on the enriching personal meaning that comes through living our lives selflessly.

'THE PARADOXICAL COMMANDMENTS are a set of common sense ideas on how to be successful through service to others. Their author, Kent Keith, has tested them and proven that they do work.
