More than 1,000 extraordinary Americans share their stories and the wisdom they have gained on living, loving, and finding happiness. After a chance encounter with an extraordinary 90-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 65 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"As he dispenses concrete, practical advice on how to make the most of our lives, Cornell gerontologist Pillemer turns for answers to our elders. Giving familiar advice a new spin by mining the rich resource of older Americans, Pillemer offers a refreshing, smart wakeup call about getting your priorities straight and living right." ( Publishers Weekly)
"The author skillfully weaves a prevailing theme (e.g., parenting, aging fearlessly) with self-disclosing statements from interviewees to create a compelling, inspirational book." ( Library Journal (starred))

Some of the lessons I don’t agree with, and being in my late 20’s I might just have to learn the hard way and that’s ok. More often did I find myself being inspired to do more and live fully because of this book. Everyday I would call my old lady and tell her about the chapter I was on and it would start deep meaningful conversations that left us dreaming about the future or opening up in ways that grew us closer. She’s not the audible type so I’m bying the book for her this Christmas.

It’s like story time with your grandparents

I personally felt the narrator had a voice full of compassion, which fits the sentiment of the book, and I had the impression that the narrator read with the audience in mind - he read slow enough for me to take in the words but fast enough so there's flow. Thank you!

LOVE the narrator as well as the book ofc

I wish my grandparents were still alive so I could have these conversations with them. Indeed some good guiding principles for life in here.

Loved this.

What Everyone Wished They Knew Before 50

After listening to this book, I feel this is the last self-help book I'll ever need to read. I'm so glad Dr. Pillermer did all the research he did and wrote this book for the benefit of mankind. Our elders, which we will all be one day, seem to be kept away in assisted living homes, and along with them, all of their wisdom. This book is a gem and I will return to it probably every year.
