Conquering Life's Course is packed with Richard's down to earth "good humor" and incredible common sense. It can be read in a single session or picked up and read a chapter at a time, on many different occasions. It's full of wisdom and history into our culture over many generations. I encourage you to read the book - it has a lot to do with love, humility, maintaining a sense of humor, helping others, and depending on a Higher Power.
