A thoroughly enthralling book that proves
the truth of the adage, "with age comes
wisdom."
Based on video
recorded interviews and extensive surveys of
more than 500 Centenarians, this
unforgettable book brings you into a world
few human beings have ever known. What must
it be like to have lived an entire
century—and not just any century, but one of
the most fertile, productive, cataclysmic,
revolutionary hundred-year periods in the
history of the human race?
Imagine
having navigated all of life's personal
milestones against the backdrop of the Jazz
Age, the Great Depression, two World Wars,
the Space Age, the Digital Age, and 9/11;
what stories you would have to tell! In
their own words, and with no small measure
of good humor, these remarkable men and
women tell their stories and share their
insights on life, business, making it and
losing it, great sorrow and joy—and having
lived to tell the tale.
- Distills
the wisdom and wit of 500 centenarians
into six sections covering the passage
of time, career, money, time management,
secrets of longevity, and capturing and
sharing wisdom
- Full of
timeless advice, like "Money cannot make
you, but it can break you," with
anecdotes about savings, debt, and
investing for the long-run—the really,
really long run
- Based on
over 500 taped interviews and extensive
questionnaire surveys developed and
conducted by noted experts Steve
Franklin and Lynn Peters Adler
Editorial
Reviews
"If you want
to win with money or life, you need to take
a good look at other people who are winning.
If you want to know how to win over the long
haul, you need to talk to people who have a
lot of life experience under their belts and
who've still come out ahead. That's exactly
what you'll get in Celebrate 100."
—Dave Ramsey, New York Times bestselling
author and nationally syndicated radio show
host
"Anyone who
has ever listened to old men tell stories in
a town square or heard grandmothers and
great-grandmothers chatter in the kitchen
knows the sheer joy and fascination of it.
Now Steve Franklin and Lynn Peters Adler
have brought us a book that crackles—and
cackles—with just such an experience. Their
compilation of centenarian stories,
'secrets' and advice is a touching and
helpful gift to our youth-obsessed age."
