關於本有聲書

Chris Rodell likes to consult with a five-year-old anytime he needs a reminder as to what is important in life. In his uplifting, humorous, and spiritual guidebook Use All the Crayons, Rodell encourages others to become universally happy by becoming more colorful, interesting, and, most importantly, fun! Rodell insists that colorful people are invited to the coolest parties; with that goal in mind, he presents over five hundred tips and entertaining, Dale Carnegie-like anecdotes that provide a glimpse into how he has personally transformed his life into one not focused on money or fame, but instead on inspirational experiences, laughter, and fulfillment. Accompanied by personal diary entries, Rodell shares simple ideas for living a more colorful life, including making balloon animals, juggling bean bags, and and understanding the advantages of getting a $75 wrist tattoo of an $18,000 Rolex instead of the real thing. Like a box of crayons, we are all born with an astounding range of color options. This creative guidebook combines instinctual DNA with a healthy dose of optimism with the hopes of teaching others how to make every day as vivacious as the brightest crayon in the box.

關於作者

Chris Rodell is the author of 10 books, four of which he doesn't deem worthy of public acknowledgement. He was from 1992-2012 America's most swashbuckling feature writer. All for the sake of a story, Rodell wrestled alligators, raced Ferraris, leapt out of airplanes from 3,000 feet, flirted with death atop a bed of nails, and gained twenty pounds in one week eating like Elvis. His 2017 debut novel, The Last Baby Boomer: The Story of the Ultimate Ghoul Pool, is the winner of the 2018 TINARA Award for best satire. He is an in-demand motivational speaker whose talks sparkle with uproarious humor, indelible characters, and poignant appreciation for what it means to be a thoughtful Earthling in the 21st century.
