H. Jackson Brown Jr.

H. Jackson Brown Jr. war ein US-amerikanischer Werbetexter und Bestsellerautor, der von 1940 bis 2021 vor allem in Nashville wirkte. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch das Werk „Life’s Little Instruction Book“, eine Sammlung lebensnaher Ratschläge zu Werten wie Güte, Demut und persönlicher Integrität. Für Bibelleser bieten seine pointierten Maximen alltagspraktische Anknüpfungspunkte an christliche Ethik, auch wenn Kritiker seine Spruchsammlungen mitunter als seicht einstuften.
