Words of Wisdom

Life: We only get one chance at it. It’s difficult to imagine what our life may look like decades from now – so we decided to ask those with the most experience of all. In dozens of interviews with older men and women in the U.S. and Britain, we sought to discover their deepest thoughts on the course their life has taken. What are the moments they’ll always remember, for better or worse? And what can they tell us about the values that should guide us as we navigate this world’s possibilities day by day? Their many stories are a potent and inspiring reminder to make the most out of your life.
