Title: Nothing special
Review: I really wanted to like this book. The idea of learning life lessons from your elders is very appealing to me and I assumed that a psychiatrist would have even deeper insights to pass on. However, Livingston's book didn't live up to its title. There were some small nuggets of wisdom but you had to really focus to find them. I found the 30 essay titles completely confusing because they never seemed to have anything to do with the actual essay. It makes you think the essay is about one thing but then it's about something else entirely. And even within the same essay the author skips from one topic to the next so often that you have to go back to the title frequently to remember what the essay was supposed to be about. Unfortunately, more often than not, there was no connection between the two and the main point of the essay was completely lost on me. There are much better books out there on the same topic. This is not a book I would recommend.
