Seeking Wisdom

David Brooks, New York Times columnist and author, is asking people over the age of 70 to write a brief report on their life so far - an evaluation of what they did well (and not so well) and what they learned along the way. His reasons are that he believes there are too few formal moments of self-appraisal in our culture, and more importantly, that these essays will help young people understand how careers and families evolve and the blessings of modern adulthood. To participate, collect your insights and send them here. Brooks intends to publish columns and online reports around Thanksgiving.
