• A specific focus might be on the nature of wisdom or how roles and professions get caught in ego games.

• While editing this group of (365) quotations for publication, it was noticed that there were many quotations regarding self-talk.

• “Self-talk” is the inner dialogue or conversations one has with themselves.

• Since most adults’ psychology concerns self-talk, this is a healthy and potentially productive focus.

Daily Quotations

• This book consists of the daily quotations this author posted to his website and blog during 2011.

• It continues a series that was started in 2003 and has continued ever since, with the current collection compiled in • 2020.

• This book is the latest publication in this series, bringing the total to eight volumes.

• Years 2003 and 2004 were combined because 2003, the first year, was not a full year.

• The series was started at the request and suggestion of some of Mr. Fitzmaurice’s counseling clients.

• When a year of postings becomes a book, that year is removed from the website because the postings have been edited and modified.

• The quotations are typically a group of five (or sometimes six) consecutive statements on or about the same theme or topic.

• This repetition is conducive to learning and finding different insights and perspectives on the same issue, theme, or topic.
