Eric Sanford didn't start out to write a book of rules, but when friends kept asking him for advice on everything from travel to construction, he decided to start writing it down.

This eventually grew into The 50 Rules of Life.

Finally he said, "Enough rules!"

Eric has been published in over five hundred magazines during his convoluted career as a journalist.

Which is strange indeed considering he majored in engineering in college, but like all good students, spent most of his time drinking beer.
