"Peace of Mind in one Lesson" by Donald R. Brann
"Those who need it the most, frequently find relaxing a difficult part of living. Almost before they realize what is happening, tensions mount, then explode. "
And then your wife, your three children, your mother-in-law, your two dogs, and your next door neighbor are all lying face down in your back yard as you explain to the law enforcement officers how your gun went off while you were cleaning it.

From a series of circa-1960s D.I.Y. books called "Easi-Bild" that were published by a fellow named Donald Brann. In the beginning of each one, he wrote a little homily that tried to link up his own Confucius-like wisdom with whatever Easy Bild project was at hand.
So there would be a couple of paragraphs where he waxed poetic about some general concept essential to the good life, and then there would be a paragraph where he'd try to make you think you'd never done better by yourself than you did the moment you decided, say, to purchase the Easy Bild book on building a plywood bar in your basement.
A tragically overlooked 20th-century Thoreau was Mr. Brann.
