Getting one's life principles in order and then applying them are of prime importance as they form the foundations upon which our lives - both personal and professional - are built. This book is a distillation of the author's experiences in life and contains nuggets of wisdom which have guided him in his life's journey as a legal academic, judge and family man.

These open and honest reflections, together with illustrations by the author's younger daughter, provide fascinating and thought-provoking material to form the basis of potential reflection by readers, and may perhaps be of useful application to their own lives.
