Life's Journeys According to Mister Rogers: Things to Remember Along the Way

by Fred Rogers

Overview

An inspiring collection of thoughts to take with us on the paths we travel in life.

For all the roads we choose to travel, and even those we don't, Fred Rogers has an observation, a story, some insights to share. Whether you're facing graduation, a new job, a new baby, marriage, any change in your life—expected or not—the wisdom that Mister Rogers offers can contribute mightily to the grace with which you handle the change.

With sections titled Who You Are Right Now, Loving and Being Loved, and Guided Drift, Fred addresses the scope of human transitions. It all comes down to knowing we're valuable, and that we're worthy of that value. As Fred would say, "You don't have to be anything more than who you are right now."

In her foreword, Joanne Rogers shares the Fred she knew. With stories from their life together, the joys as well as the struggles, Joanne shows how Fred looked at life as a journey—with the ups and downs and in-betweens.

Editorial Reviews

Beginning with an uplifting introduction by his wife, this collection of Fred Rogers’s wisdom and music is one of the most inspiring one-hour listening experiences anyone will ever hear. Unlike his child-focused television show, this audio production is talking to adults. The readings and musical performances will make a lot of people miss Fred Rogers and long for his simple message of unconditional acceptance and personal worth. An inspiring and calming message is captured well by this group of skilled and loving voices. T.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award 2006 Audie Award Finalist © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
