30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans

By Karl Pillemer

Categories: Self-Help

Gerontologist Karl Pillemer interviewed more than a thousand older Americans about the most important lessons they had learned in their lives. The book distills their advice into thirty lessons on marriage, work, raising children, aging, health, regret and happiness. Drawn from people who lived through depression, war and great change, the advice is practical, often surprising and grounded in experience.
