Life Is So Good Book Reviews
Life Is So Good by George Dawson & Richard Glaubman Book Summary
One man’s extraordinary journey through the twentieth century and how he learned to read at age 98
“Things will be all right. People need to hear that. Life is good, just as it is. There isn’t anything I would change about my life.”—George Dawson
In this remarkable book, George Dawson, a slave’s grandson who learned to read at age 98 and lived to the age of 103, reflects on his life and shares valuable lessons in living, as well as a fresh, firsthand view of America during the entire sweep of the twentieth century. Richard Glaubman captures Dawson’s irresistible voice and view of the world, offering insights into humanity, history, hardships, and happiness. From segregation and civil rights, to the wars and the presidents, to defining moments in history, George Dawson’s description and assessment of the last century inspires readers with the message that has sustained him through it all: “Life is so good. I do believe it’s getting better.”

Life is so good. Tear dropper
Inspiring. A very good read
Life Is so good. I love this book so much. It was so simple but so true & sweet. It worth the read.
One to read.... I heard about Mr. Dawson on the Oprah show....and fell in love with the story. I downloaded the book began to read it and fell in love with the man. It's not the best written book in the world....but I guess the second writer wrote it as Mr. Dawson told it to him. (it repeats itself a lot) But the story is a GOOD ONE. Loved this book...worth the read!
Life is So Good is So Good. This is my second time reading this book but probably not my last. To see a man who suffered the worst of times this county had to offer and have no anger or bitterness is remarkable and a great life lesson. I plan to recommend to everyone I see.
Life is so Good. I loved this book. It was so simple but so true and sweet. My grandfather lived to 102 and he still found great joy in how beautiful an orange was at breakfast.
Big Thank You!. Reading this book,made me realize I've been wasting my life all a long.I think if anyone out there in this world,is thinking it's to late to change or even going back to school,needs to read this book.
Life Learner. I saw Mr. Dawson introduced on the Oprah Show sometime ago. There was no waiting to obtain and read this exciting book of adventure, perseverance, and sheer delight in hard honest work. Having grown up on a farm in the South, I can identify with so many of the stories--either first hand or related by my father who worked fervently to support our large family and instill great lifelong values. The most admirable qualities are Mr. Dawson's eternal quest for learning, his belief that he must continue to inspire others, and his willingness to forgive those unable to recognize him as a worthy human being. Thank you, Mr. Glaubman. I hope it somewhat compensates for trips with your dad.
Wow. Read this book and learn. Such a joy to read. Affirms most everything I think about in terms of treating people and living your life. Great book.
Wow. I was forced to read this for Summer Reading and prepared for an extremely boring book however found myself surprised when I actually found myself enjoying the book. It really changes your outlook on the world if you choose to read it with an open mind.
Life is So Good. What a wonderful read. I wish I could have sat on the front porch and chewed the fat with Mr. Dawson! Amazing...
