Common Sense is not all that Common

What began as a book for his grandson transformed into a guide to life that can benefit anyone.

“Those that enjoy success and fulfillment in life have a lot in common…they are aware of what is happening in their environment, and they know how to solve problems and make good decisions.”

Eliot H. Dunsky has traveled the world, served as a doctor and professor, and experienced the joys of family life. Now, in his seventies, he decided it was high time to write down what he’s learned from his mistakes and successes along the way.

Written as a jumping-off point for deeper discussions, Common Sense is Not All that Common addresses thirty-six different topics that we all encounter in life. From personal subjects such as values, self-confidence, willpower, and relationships, to economical issues including investment, budgeting, and even owning your own business, Dunksy’s guide has a bit of advice about practically everything.

Straightforward and simply put, the wisdom is offered as friendly advice and often related with a story or a historical anecdote—it’s like listening to a professor, philosopher, and great storyteller rolled into one.
