Wisdom: The Greatest Gift One Generation Can Give To Another
A gift that is appropriate for men or women. I have chosen to place it within the Gift Guide for Men.....simply because men "think they are so smart." Andrew Zuckerman has interviewed 50 great writers, actors, designers, politicians, and business and religious leaders. All of them were over 65 years of age. Each of them were posed seven questions....and their answers were often inspirational and very surprising. The photography is fabulous and is accompanied by a documentary DVD. A timeless gift. It sells for $50 everywhere. Amazon has it on sale for only $31.50 with Free Shipping. Amazon.com
