Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:

More than one thousand extraordinary Americans share their stories and the wisdom they have gained on living, loving, and finding happiness.

After a chance encounter with an extraordinary ninety-year-old woman, renowned gerontologist Karl Pillemer began to wonder what older people know about life that the rest of us don't.His quest led him to interview more than one thousand Americans over the age of sixty-five to seek their counsel on all the big issues- children, marriage, money, career, aging. Their moving stories and uncompromisingly honest answers often surprised him. And he found that he consistently heard advice that pointed to these thirty lessons for living. Here he weaves their personal recollections of difficulties overcome and lives well lived into a timeless book filled with the hard-won advice these older Americans wish someone had given them when they were young.

Like This I Believe, StoryCorps's Listening Is an Act of Love, and Tuesdays with Morrie, 30 Lessons for Living is a book to keep and to give. Offering clear advice toward a more fulfilling life, it is as useful as it is inspiring.

The writing is somewhat hokey (I got tired of the author calling the elderly people that he interviewed "experts") but there really is some good, sound advice in this book. I especially found the advice on health to be helpful -- don't worry about death, but take care of your health to avoid debilitating, and preventable, health problems. ( )

I'm reading this because I want to see if I can pick up any advice about how to live a happy and fulfulled life from people who have travelled further along the road of life. Breenie

The author has done an excellent job of consolidating 1,200 interviews from elderly people into meaningful stories and advice. There were many things you would expect, however there was some like those on aging that were eye opening. I do believe what they have to say has value, however I challenge his logic that they are experts (which he says way to often) thus everything he writes is true. For example, his editing can sway the truth and their advice is based on experiences that they remember. Memory is not as accurate as we think it is and advice is always easier to give to others than to follow ourselves. That said this audio give plenty of food for thought.
