Winning Ways is a contemporary story by Roy and Carolyn Gillett which links the 16 Guidelines with football. It is designed for 8 to 12 year olds.

You can also read an interview with the authors.

Sarah and Jimmy did not want to change schools when their parents changed jobs. However, getting to know new friends led to an amazing chain of events, and even the possibility of England winning the World Cup! It is how you do it that makes all the difference, their father always told them – it certainly did!

This book follows the four parts of Essential Education's 16 Guidelines for a Happy Life. The action in each chapter illustrates one guideline, but also develops a natural story line, building to the novella's exciting climax. The book is designed to be read straight off as a story. At its end are discussion questions for children, parents and teachers to explore; maybe on a second or third reading.
