30 Lessons for Living - Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans by Karl Pillemer, Ph.D. The author is a gerontologist who was interested in finding out the life lessons that can and should be passed on to younger generations. The book is divided into 8 chapters (and by the way we have 8 Rosh Chodesh dates on the calendar). At the end of the book he lists 10 questions that we can answer ourselves. This is a thought provoking book and the interviews are with both women and men. It could lead to some really good conversations. There is a FB page that continues the discussion where people post called The Legacy Project: Lessons for Living.
- Ch 1 - Who are the Wisest Americans and What Can they Tell Us? and Ch 2 - Great Together - Lessons for a Happy Marriage
- Ch 3 - Glad to Get Up in the Morning - Lessons for a Successful Career
- Ch 4 - Nobody's Perfect - Lessons for a Lifetime of Parenting

- Ch 6 - I Can Look Everyone in the Eye - Lessons for Living a Life without Regrets
- Ch 7 - Choose Happiness - Lessons for Living Like an Expert

- Sharing an interview you do with yourself or someone else
Please join us for our 1st Shir Ami Rosh Chodesh Group which welcomes both women and men this year! The Zoom class will begin on Monday, October 4, when we will discuss an inspiring film, Lives Well Lived. Encompassing 3,000 years of collective life experience, diverse people share life lessons about perseverance, the human spirit, and staying positive in the midst of life’s greatest challenges.
The delightful film, which has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, will make you laugh, smile —and feel great about growing older.
The film is available for you to watch free on PBS.org online during the month of September. Register to join our conversation using the button below. To learn more and see the video trailer here: https://www.pbs.org/show/lives-well-lived/
Consider the film the launch pad for this year’s monthly Rosh Chodesh which will base its discussions on Karl Pillemer’s book 30 Lessons for Living. The book relates life lessons learned, as he interviews older people and organizes their responses in categories to which we can all relate.
The wisdom gleaned from people who’ve lived and learned through their lives will often mirror our own experiences, confirm conclusions we’ve come to, and, perhaps, show us that ~ in spite of self-doubts ~ we’ve done our homework pretty well. We encourage you to read Pillemer’s book as we progress from topic to topic; but the reading is not essential. We welcome everyone, women and men, to join our monthly Zoom gatherings.
