Synopsis

Keeping score is a basic necessity in a competitive society - whether it be at sports, cards or analyzing financial reports. Well-known columnist and humanist Sydney J. Harris proposes five scoreboards for winners in the “game” of life and demonstrates his uncanny ability to hit the mark of insight and wit. Succinct comments on success and failure touch on a wide variety of topics: personal self-image, values, motivation and human relationships. Even though the “game” of life is serious business, Winners and Losers demonstrates that humor and the ability to laugh at oneself are vital. The author’s statements are cleverly interpreted in the handsome illustrations of Nicole Hollander.
