The University of Hard Knocks by Ralph Parlette (1917): the complete book in audio and ebook, a PDF summary, and a daily practice sheet, yours to keep. The University of Hard Knocks is Ralph Parlette's famous lecture on what life's difficulties are for. Using homely images such as the shaken barrel, where the big things rise to the top, he argues that the bumps of experience are the real school, and he separates the needless knocks we bring on ourselves from the needful ones that make us grow. The book closes with the climb up life's mountain. Parlette gave this lecture thousands of times on the American Chautauqua circuit, and it was published in book form in 1917. It suits listeners going through a rough stretch who want to see it as training rather than punishment.
