Wisdom: The greatest Heritage of a Generation
(via @brainpickings)
Driven by the insight that the greatest heritage of a generation is the wisdom gained from life's experience, American award-winning photographer Andrew Zuckerman rolled up his sleeves and went wisdom-hunting among fifty of our time's greatest thinkers and doers - writers, artists, philosopers, politicians, designers, activist, musicians, religious and business leaders - all over 65 years of age. He posed seven questions, recording his subjects' candid responses in a way that unearths a landslide of intelligence, inspiration and invaluable insight.
The result was a brilliant book-and-film, Wisdom: The Greatest Gift One Generation Can Give to Another. Zuckerman subsequently divided the great tome into four smaller, more digestible sub-volumes, each with its own thematic DVD: Wisdom: Life, Wisdom: Love, Wisdom: Peace, and Wisdom: Ideas.
This book represents an inspiring and insightful look at the common experiences that unite generations.
