Rules of Five to Live By

About the Book

Jade is a young girl with a big problem.  She has run into her first trouble at school, and is struggling with the uncertainties we all face when we try to solve a problem alone.

          Fortunately for Jade, her wise grandfather from Hawaii is visiting and in his special way presents to Jade five simple rules for happy living.  In the first and second rules Jade learns the value of creating a safe space and the emotions connected to withholding the truth and telling the truth.

          With the remaining rules, honoring all agreements, being supportive and keeping exchanges in balance and her grandfather’s guidance, love and support, Jade experiences how each applies to her life in many important ways.

          As Jade grows, so in turn does her understanding, and our understanding, of how five rules shape and define lives and how they support ethical behavior in marriages, family and relationships.
