Wisdom

This book and DVD have interviews with 50 global luminaries over the age of 65 who provide insight into what it means to love, work, and live in harmony. Inspired by the notion that the greatest gift one generation can give another is wisdom, the book and DVD relate the life experiences and knowledge gained by elder statesmen like Edward "Ted" Kennedy and Nelson Mandela, spiritual leaders like the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and entertainers such as Robert Redford and David Brubeck. Bits of wisdom include Clint Eastwood's suggestion to, "Take your profession seriously; don't take yourself seriously," and Judi Dench's advice that, "The key to a good relationship is absolutely, undoubtedly: don't take the person for granted." The book has color portraits of each interviewee as captured by renowned photographer Andrew Zuckerman, and the included 60-minute film shows every interview in its entirety. 216 pages.
